iWitness is an interactive photo gallery for your mobile phone. It reflects how the mainstream news media pictures our world and how, in contrast, a spontaneous community of mobile and online photo bloggers observe that same world through the camera lens.

On your phone you can passively observe and actively contribute to the news and photos on display. See what the mainstream news media are reporting right now or recall a moment in history.

At any time you can share your own news and views by publishing them directly from your mobile phone. Each item thus shared becomes immediately available to everyone else on their mobile phones. And so the iWitness Community is born.

Each published item also appears on the online Internet blog, the iWitness Mobile Community Journal. This acts as a forum to share and discuss news items with the broader online community.

You can also enjoy an online slideshow of the photos contributed by members of the iWitness Community hosted on flickr.com. As you view the show you can click on the photos to learn more about them.
