Newsroom budgets may be shrinking faster than a polar ice cap, but how many times have you shot something and then seen it sold around the world, without your income increasing accordingly? Or shot a great story that deserved a wider audience but never saw the light of day because it didn’t meet the prescribed agenda?

Two experienced news/documentary cameramen, Boaz Eshtai and Yosi Romano, were fully aware of these situations, which is why they created Beamups. Their dream was for buyers to purchase news items from around the world with a click of their mouse. And producers of content could retain copyright for their work, giving them the opportunity to boost revenues through multiple sales. Beamups is the fruit of their labour.
