The Swiss press agency Schweizerische Depeschenagentur (SDA) and the Keystone picture agency have set up Minds Media content GmbH. The Berne based joint venture will provide text and pictorial information and a platform for cellphone services. The mobile platform called MINDS (Mobile Information and News Data Services for 3G) will soon allow newspaper publishers to offer local to headlines, sporting event results, and classified advertisements by SMS or MMS to mobile phone customers. In addition readers will also be able to respond with text messages or contribute MMS pictures by mobile telephone. The two partners have brought their cellphone General News and People services into the new company, but will retain separate responsibility for the production of images and text. MINDS was funded by the European Commission through its eContent programme. Stefan Hartmann, VISUELL
