With so many of the public armed with cameraphones, real people could be taking pictures that the press simply aren’t there to catch.

Scoopt is the first picture agency set up specifically to help citizen reporters around the world sell the pics they take on their cameraphones.

First, you have to register. Then, you can send photos directly from your mobile phone via MMS or via mobile email. If you catch a scoop, Scoopt can make sure that the right people see your picture quickly. Each time Scoopt makes a sale, they split the money with you 50/50.
