The new FCC News Lens app contains more than 3,700 photo galleries, comprised of 44,000 photos taken by journalists in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, aggregating the news photography of 30-plus Forum Communications newspapers. And the volume of content is always growing.

More and more readers who are looking for high-quality news and entertainment content are turning to the iPad.

?This iPad app gives Forum Communications an exciting new platform to display the prize-winning photojournalism that takes place in our communities every day,? said Steve McLister, FCC vice president for print. ?We?re proud of the work that our photographers do, and now we?ve found a way to share with you the work that all of our company?s fine photojournalists do, not just the work of your local newspaper professionals.?

The new app is designed to reward the consumer with a memorable experience, offering easy-to-use menus, touch screen navigation, key word searches and large, bold, high-resolution images of the day?s most telling news photos, engaging feature photos and breathtaking special photo projects.
