Getty snaps up 'citizen photo' site Scoopt

Scoopt, the agency set up by Scottish journalist Kyle MacRae and his wife in 2005 to market pictures taken by amateur photojournalists, has been sold to Getty Images. Currently, Scoopt members can text and email images to the agency so it can sell them to press outlets, with a 50-50 split of the proceeds. Getty says it will invest in technology upgrades to make the Scoopt site more accessible to customers. It has not disclosed how much it has paid for Scoopt. (Via Journalism.co.uk)
