The Big Picture from the Boston Globe

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.
