A year of Demotix In January 2009, Demotix as we know it today was launched. Since then, we’ve had over 125,000 images from over 100 countries and made sales to most of the world’s biggest TV channels, newspapers, magazines and websites. Demotix has led the news agenda with stories from London, Boston, Tehran, Athens and more. All of this – every last bit – is thanks to you, our 11,000 contributors. In one year, you’ve made Demotix a vibrant community and, we think, the home of some of the best photojournalism anywhere. We are excited to see what you will make in 2010. To celebrate the new year and Demotix’ first birthday, we’ve put together a review of the best stories from 2009. Join us in looking back to A Year of Demotix. Finally, from the Demotix team, thank you for making 2009 so special. Have a safe and prosperous year! 31.12.200 9
