With today’s smart phones enabling journalists to tweet, file copy, and edit and upload broadcast-quality footage, mobile reporting is becoming an increasingly important part of the basic skillset for journalists, from regional patch reporters at council meetings to foreign correspondents in warzones. One of the sessions at our upcoming news:rewired digital journalism conference will look at the advances in mobile reporting and how it is being used effectively by regional newspapers, national broadcasters, freelance video journalists, and others.
Our next event news:rewired – media in motion will take place on 3 February at MSN’s London offices in Victoria, looking at the latest tools, strategies and approaches in online journalism and the use of digital technologies for innovative news production, with a focus on social and mobile developments.
Sessions at the one-day conference will include a look at the opportunities for online video, how to bring newsgames into news coverage, how best to time social media output, innovative approaches in mobile reporting and building coherent multi-platform strategies for delivering content across print, web, tablet and smartphone apps.
