BBC starts experimental citizen journalism project

The BBC has launched a citizen journalism project to explore new multi-media story telling ideas using mobile phones and GPS, reports Journalism.co.uk

BBC Innovation is collaborating with the University of Brighton, Nokia and mobile and web engagement specialist Ymogen for the Geo-stories project to investigate how video, stills and text combined with location and time information can create new narrative formats.

The month long project, which started this week, will culminate when students from the University of Brighton present the results of the citizen journalism experiment as an online gallery on January 18".
