About Us
Cell Journalist helps websites interact with their audience

We provide the tools for users to submit images and videos directly from mobile devices or from the website. That content can then be shared across the web through our embeddable media player. Websites can brand that player and insert flash overlay ads to not only increase their brand awareness, but increase advertising revenue.

Our host of features will help to increase website traffic and advertising revenue. The platform is completely customizable and can be easily integrated into an existing website. Contact us to discuss our pricing and advertising terms.
