Going Mobile

In Chapter 5 of Mark Briggs’ “journalism NEXT” book, http://tinyurl.com/qzxyjh5 the use of mobile technology in today’s world of journalism is discussed. Ever wanted to become a reporter but can’t afford an expensive camera? Well how about you use the camera on your cell phone! Gone are the days of people rushing to buy expensive camera only to place those images in newspapers. A large number of journalists just use their latest iPhone of Samsung Galaxy to shoot whatever videos that they need for their stories.
