The
Guardian has a new way for the community and newsroom to connect to tell
stories via the web, an iPhone
app and Android
app. GuardianWitness is the organization’s new “open journailsm”
platform that lets readers submit pictures, videos and text to journalists
directly from an assignment.

Selected contributions will go anywhere on The Guardian’s publishing
platforms. From the announcement:
If your submission is picked up by a journalist it could go on to be
featured across the Guardian – in print and online – which means you can help
set the news agenda and become part of the Guardian’s award-winning
journalism.
The
platform is a partnership with EE, the UK’s first and
only superfast 4G mobile network
