Global Voices and Demotix!

We're thrilled to announce that Global Voices and Demotix are partnering.

Global Voices, the standard for global participative journalism, runs the best blogging platform on the web. We think we run the best image platform. It's a marriage made in heaven. Global Voices will be taking a monthly subscription to your images, and we'll be bringing Global Voices blog posts into our news hubs.

Solana Larsen, Managing Director, says: "Global Voices, like Demotix, was founded at the cross-roads of grassroots activism and journalism, with two principles in mind – freedom of speech and freedom of information. Our top stories often overlap. As much as the internet is challenging old media models, only a few organizations are innovating in the realm of international news in the way that we are. We are very happy to try working together more closely in the months ahead!"

From our perspective, this is a partnership we've dreamt about for a long time.

Global Voices was an inspiration for us back when Demotix was only an idea. It's doubly thrilling therefore, to be partnering with them today. We share a profound commitment to the 'crowd' and its power, and a profound commitment to opening the news conversation. Global Voices run the best network of global bloggers anywhere - to combine their work with our images has always made sense.

Together, I believe, we can have even more impact on the global news agenda.

Onwards and Upwards!
