With Cell Journalist, folks with camera-phones can become photo journalists. The new webservice allows ordinary folks on the street to upload pictures from their camera-phones to their database, making them available to media outlets.

If you happen to witness a newsworthy event, like a hijacking, a bombing, or whatever, and you have your camera-phone with you, you can photograph the scene and upload it to Cell Journalist on the spot, and get paid $50.00 every time a newspaper or television news station downloads it.
