There is a new app called Signal that is journalism meets instagram.
With Signal, the emphasis is on quick and easy photojournalism. Users capture media that they then upload to the app with a geo-tagged location and a short caption of around 60 characters. And if multiple people happen to be covering the same story, an algorithm for the app pushes the photos together, so the content becomes classified under the same story.
Do you think people will actually use Signal, and does it have the ability to have the same effect as Twitter did for citizen journalism?
