Agence France-Presse (AFP) and IAM, a company founded by Xavier Gouyou Beauchamps and Pascal Josèphe, reported that it had taken minority shareholding in Scooplive, renamed Citizenside.

Scooplive, a company founded in 2006 by Matthieu Stefani, Julien Robert and Philippe Checinski, gives individuals the opportunity to sell their pictures and videos on current news, in return for a small commission. The company now takes a step forward and becomes Citizenside, a site which enables the media to use the platform that has been developed for two years as a white label. The media will thus be able to cultivate nearness and interaction with their readers or audience, and to obtain from them news documents to complement their own or agencies production.

With contributors from around 90 countries, Citizenside.com is a site pursuing strategic aims: acceleration of its international development, widening of its community, increase of the documents received and of the number of partnerships with the press, TV, web and mobile media.
