‘We believe in freedom of speech. We believe we in the right to knowledge. Street Journalism – the reporting of people like you and me – brings those two things together. Demotix is where the world comes together to tell their stories in pictures. We take your stories and pictures, and get them out to where they can really make a difference - both on Demotix.com (which already has viewers from Bhutan to Bolivia) and to the mainstream media where, together, we can change the way the news is gathered. We are a news space generated by the people for the people, and in the process we get our street reporters paid so that they can keep up the great work’ said Turi Munthe, Demotix founder and CEO.
