The renowned photographic cooperative Magnum Photos has today launched an application for Apple's iPhone.

The app will give users access to the 101 images and the accompanying stories from the Reporters Without Borders yearbook.

Director of Magnum Photos, Paris, Julien Frydman said Magnum photographers had been sharing their images for over 60 years.

Buying the application would support independent photography and give longer life to the "information profession", he said.

Mr Frydman said the funds would support new reports from independent photographers. The app will cost €2.99 and an update with a new story will be available each week for 79 cent.
