Time and Sports Illustrated Turn to Instagram

Two stalwarts of high-quality photojournalism are … turning to Instagram?

Yep.

Sports Illustrated will have a Leading Off page in the next issue of photos shot by regular contributor Brad Mangin with his smartphone and processed through the social photo network app. It’s a collection of images he made during this baseball season.

Time, on the other hand, is working on a story about the role of cellphones in everyday life. They’ve designated a hashtag for submissions … though there’s no word if they will be licensing the images or just using them.
