Scoopt is the world’s first commercial 'citizen journalism' agency, created specifically to connect members of the public with the mainstream media.
Why give newsworthy images and video away for free when you can get paid like a professional?
Scoopt was launched on July 4th 2005 in Glasgow, Scotland, by co-founders Kyle and Jill MacRae just days before the horrific London tube bombings that put citizen journalism on the map forever.
Scoopt is now owned and operated by Getty Images.
Getty Images supplies imagery around the clock to thousands of media companies worldwide, including newspapers, magazines and broadcasters. The Getty Images team is looking to bring your newsworthy content to the press community. Its extensive sales team knows who to contact to market your pictures and videos, and understands their true value.
So now that we're part of Getty Images, we have significantly expanded the scope of Scoopt's sales reach. No other user-generated editorial content source comes close. If the media wants your picture, we'll sell it to them - and you'll get paid a royalty every time.
