Africa Media Online lanches EU funded African Image Pipeline project
Africa Media Online Pty Ltd, the parent company of Africanpictures.net, has announced that it is launching a ZAR 5.5 million (Approx $700,000 USD) project Known as the African Image Pipeline to ensure that global audiences have access to quality pictures from South African sources. The project has been made possible with 70% grant funding from the European Union through Gijima KZN, an initiative of the Department of Economic Development in South Africa.
According to a recent press release, the African Image Pipeline enables Africa Media Online to: train photo entrepreneurs from historically disadvantaged backgrounds; digitise additional images; upgrade their online media library and sales management system including introducing a multi-language search facility; and provide quality images to global audiences. The company further states that it believes that the long term ownership of African commercial and heritage collections must remain in Africa with revenue returning to those to whom the collections belong. In this way, it will be Africans that tell Africa’s story.
