Relay, the mobile-first liveblogging platform, has announced upgrades including a function allowing reporters to add photos to an event via email, which has since been used in tests with Google Glass and NASA.
The US-government supported Broadcasting Board of Governors' (BBG) Office of Digital Design & Innovation (ODDI) released Relay as open-source software in December with the intent of recreating the liveblog for mobile.
"We know how powerful getting a great photo can be in journalism so we're excited to have that feature," Randy Abramson, director of audio and video products at the ODDI, told Journalism.co.uk. "The photograph is the most basic type of communication you can offer your audience; it's fast and you don't need a lot of bandwidth to transmit."
