Mobile Journalism
is becoming mainstream in todays digital world. CBC reporter Dan
McGarvey uses a cell phone to make content for radio, television and
online. He specialises in covering underreported communities in
regional Canada, and in his Twitter thread. Mobile journalism is
digital storytelling where the main device used for newsgathering and
content creation is a smartphone. Photos, videos, audio and
graphics can be created and edited on the phone and uploaded to
newsroom servers, and to online and social platforms, direct from the
device.
A Journalist can also respond to audience queries and contacts via chat
apps, social messaging and email, and use the phone to make calls to
arrange interviews – all with the one device. Smartphones enable
any journalist to build new skills quickly and affordably – from news
photography to radio and podcasts, to social-first storytelling, to
making TV news and documentaries.
Mobile apps and equipment are cheaper than traditional broadcast
journalism equipment and software and smartphones are also lighter and
smaller. This makes multimedia storytelling more accessible to
reporters on a budget, and to women and people living with a physical
disability. What makes mobile journalism truly revolutionary from
a storytelling perspective is that members of your audience
increasingly have access to a mobile phone. This means you can
include the voices of your community in your storytelling and make your
journalism more inclusive. Most modern phones can film in 1080p
high-definition video, and can film reasonably well in low light.
Flagship phones like Apple and Samsung also offer good depth of field,
camera zooming, a choice of frame-rates, and optical image
stabilization so a journalist can capture handheld footage that isn’t
too shaky.
One of the world’s top mobile journalists is Barkha Dutt. Based
in Delhi, Barkha covers hard news and politics with a smartphone.
Her one-woman news organisation, Mojo Story, has over 7 million
followers on Twitter and more than 800,000 on YouTube. TikTok and
Instagram Reels have become two of the most popular platforms with
young news consumers. To keep them informed, many journalists
have set up TikTok accounts, like Journalist Max Foster at CNN. |
