News filed on the spot - thumbs permitting
Following Øyvind Woie's experience of updating live from CeBIT 2004 for the Norwegian newspaper Vårt Land, (cf Norway's First Photo-Phone Reporter), Woie's next project will be to report from a large Norwegian music festival this summer, using a camera phone to post pictures and text to a web gallery, reports dot Journalism.
"As mobile reporting technology becomes more common, traditional note-taking reporting will become a thing of the past, says Mr Woie.
"Journalists must be able to produce pictures, video, audio and web copy as well as use mobile technology and create stories and news for new broadband mobile media," he said.
"Readers don't read, listen and watch the news from the sofa anymore - the mobile phone makes it possible to read Norwegian news in Mombassa or be get entertainment on top of the Himalayas."
