"Citizen journalism is having its moment.

John Meyer, the 21-year-old who dropped out of New York University after founding Fresco two years ago, believes his app will be of service even in large metro areas swarming with new teams.

Fox Television Stations has become the first major media outlet to employ citizen journalists.

Fresco’s app, which connects people on the street to newsrooms, notifies citizen journalists who have signed up for the app of open assignments from a local TV station.

Fresco receives $75 for each video and $30 for each photo chosen for on-air use. It forwards two-thirds of this revenue ($50 per video and $20 per photo) to the citizen delivering the content."- Quotes from article found on NY Post, via iDrudge.
