Reporters in media and news channels are having to figure a new challenge. The journalism industry is always changing and evolving. Journalists are always facing new changes and are finding new ways to produce, present and film news. In recent months filming stories and developing events with big cameras is becoming too hard and taking too long. Journalists have found it easier to take out the same device that every person always has in their pocket......a cellphone.
According to an article on Mashable by Chris Michaels he says that, "Modern broadcast newsrooms need a solution that can keep live video airing without interruption, and that can enable a local stringer or freelancer to be up and running in minutes, not hours or days. The easiest way to capture and live stream the events as they happen is to utilize local mobile journalists."
More recently in the United States people are capturing great video of events as they unfold. Examples of these events are protests, sports events, even just a fight at a local school or something equivalent to that. With having quick video on a cell phone a person can easily put it on a social media site and have that source of media spread quicker than waiting for the 11 pm news hour to report on it.
According to the article news stations and companies are trying to find a way to get stories out quicker as well. The article states, " There is a huge opportunity for newsrooms to provide dedicated apps that can deliver exclusive content directly to their ingest points and editing bays. Not only can CNN, NBC, Reuters and the AP get people on the ground faster; they are able to represent multiple viewpoints with streams coming in from various coverage areas." These apps will get news from different viewpoints quicker to the viewers that desire to read it.
Mobile journalism is the future for news. Its more efficient and brings in more potential viewers.
