iReporter Changes

Thanks to all of our iReporters who have shared some great photos over the past year.  The Herald-Whig has recently created an exciting new site designed to allow users to upload all sorts of family and community related photographs.  “Community – What’s going on in your life?” photo site, is designed to greatly expand the volume of viewer submitted photographs far beyond  the capabilities of  “iReporter.”  It’s pretty awesome.  “Between the Lens” is still accepting breaking news photos from our iReporters and look forward to continued participation from all of you.   Many thanks,   “Between the Lens” team.
