Guest post from The Boston Globe
(A series highlighting the most interesting new apps available for Google TV)
Every day, there are hundreds and sometimes thousands of
photographs available to newspaper companies.
However, space allows only a small number to be displayed in print or
online so much of this amazing photography does not reach a large
audience. Years ago, we at The Boston
Globe and Boston.com saw the value in these additional photographs -- and the
stories that they told -- and created The Big Picture.
The Big Picture is our popular photo blog, which can be
found online at www.boston.com/bigpicture.
The Big Picture highlights news stories through photographs -- photographs that
are high in quality and large in size. The photos that appear on The Big
Picture take advantage of the maximum amount of screen real estate that is
available and allows every detail of the photograph to be seen.
We are now very excited to bring The Big Picture to Google TV
and allow our content to be seen on the largest screens found in today’s households
– the television.
Now available in Android Market for Google TV, The Big Picture will immerse
you in the middle of current news events from around the world. Now instead of
crowding around a computer monitor or mobile device, the images from The Big
Picture, which is updated multiple times per week, can be seen in all its glory
and shared with friends and family while sitting around the TV.
