The Mobile Media Project
Launching February 3rd, during the 2004 S.C. Democratic presidential primary, Mobile Media Project - conducted by the Ifra Newsplex at the University of South Carolina with support from Cingular Wireless - is designed to explore and evaluate cutting-edge tools and techniques in convergent journalism by combining the latest advancements in mobile phone and wireless Internet technologies with the well-refined skills of newspaper and television reporting.
Seven teams of print and broadcast journalists will envelop the Columbia area to report Primary Day in all its varied nuances using camera phones, continuously capturing and uploading by mobile phone hundreds of digital pictures, video-audio shorts and text summaries to this special moblog hosted by TextAmerica.
