Magnum is commemorating World Press Freedom
day with the launch of
101 Magnum Photos for the Freedom of the Press, an iPhone application that showcases 101 legendary images from the photo collective’s archive.
The app, exemplary of even the most established photo agencies branching out into new media in search of new distribution channels, was based on the Reporters Without Borders Album application and is a pay-for product. In addition to images, the app will provide stories of each photograph and allow user interaction, such as selecting favorites and completing a weekly image mosaic.
