And the new Blackberry Pearl with email capabilities is helping to lead the way. The Times has just launched a competition for the Camera Phone Photographer of the Year Award. The winners camera phone picture will be displayed within the Times newspaper and also at a leading London gallery. The lucky winner will also go on an all-expenses-paid trip to capture their own news photos and also go on to represent Britain in the Sony Ericsson International camera Phone Photographer of the Year competition.
The picture editor of the Times, Paul Sanders said “ …the camera phone had come into its own as far as breaking news.” “Last year the winning image had real drama it is the common scenes and not the quality that makes mobile phone images from major beings such as a valuable resource for modern news gathering.” The eyewitness perspective delivered in a single image often shaky or out of focus catches the essence of the moment for news coverage.
It is predicted that by 2010 and 77 percent of mobile phones will come with a built in camera. And with phones such as the Blackberry now also including e-mail capability, the world of news journalism has never been more mobile. It’s now so easy to shoot footage and then email it back to base that the common man is replacing professional new crews. So whether that new camera phone is used for your company to capture and send data from the field or whether it’s a staff member capturing a burning building on the way home - the new mobile camera and email technology is truly revolutionising mobile business. Camera phones as “news recording devices” truly come to the fore with the London tube bombings on the 7th of July 2005. The grainy images of people coming out of the tunnels their faces covered in black soot shot in shaky mobile phone footage - is a lasting memory of this event. The Times is reported to have received over 150 pictures captured with mobile phones of other Buncefield or oil depot in explosion in 2005 and it’s also widely reported that a newspaper recently paid in the region of £2000 pounds for an image taken by a 17-year-old of the failed car bomb attacks in London's Haymarket in June 2007.
