Mobile Journalism – New Column Opening Soon on TheAppWhisperer.com

There are as many dimensions to mobile photography as their are traditional photography and that’s all good! To that end and coming from a Journalistic viewpoint as that is what I am in combination with being a Portrait Photographer, we have decided to open a new section within theappwhisperer – this will focus entirely on Mobile Journalism.

The BBC as well as many other media outlets have supplied smartphones to many of their field reporters. It’s not all about photography, it’s about filming and recording too. It’s a huge area and one that we are going to fully embrace to ensure that you are kept up to the minute with the latest technology and news relating to Mobile Journalism.

We’ll let you know when it’s set up, stand by…

    Joanne,

    MOJO is probably the biggest disruption in a archaic industry. Many could argue the web was/ is but the immediacy brought about with the iPhone, and later the 180° by other phone makers forced a major rethink across all news content providers.

    It is exciting, challenging and wide open field. As it moves out of infancy, who knows what type of tools will be had / used / that can fit in hand, on a necklace, even a wrist band.

    With most mirror less cameras having wifi enabled and connected to your smartphone, real time high quality image / audio can be captured, edited and distributed in seconds. We humans will see a transparent wall come down on what will be news distribution. All these new storytelling apps and web content providers are the crack in the proverbial dyke that old agencies can not fix.

    Looking forward to this endeavor.

    Be well

    Laurence
