Just maybe 5 cars were in the area, but then again we don't know the nature of the call.  This is not news in any way, shape or form.  It leaves us readers in the dark.

 I agree with michele. 

Think of these photos as a visual news tip, submitted via a technology that didn't exist  a mere few years ago.  Like any news tip, it will be passed on to the appropriate newsroom staff and evaluated and investigated as necessary. 

Will every mobile tip be a news story?  No.  But this blog is meant to showcase the fact that, whereas mobile phone technology is traditionally thought of, by media companies and media consumers, as a unidirectional vehicle--you sign up for alerts, for example, and your cell phone gets text messages from us--it now makes possible not only multidirectional but multimedia communication. 

If you see news happening, you can call us, text us details, snap photos, take video, all in seconds, all with the same device.  So, while, again, not everything is breaking news, you never know--and now the power is literally in your hands.
