Like Twitter, Instagram is a real-time social platform that enables popular images to rise to the surface quickly, both on its network and on the other social networks it is linked to. We doubt it will take a photo like Krums’s to get other news organizations to follow NPR’s lead. As a quick, easy-to-use tool for taking and distributing photos — and thus drawing in audiences — it arguably has no peer, although its accessibility is severely limited by the fact that it is an iPhone-only application.
