Nokia & Reuters Team Up For Mobile Journalism

If you're reading this, then it's very likely that the Internet is one of your primary sources of information. While television is the most accessible medium, how many times have you found yourself looking for more details? With the Web, you can enter a query in your favorite search engine and get ten to twenty results in a matter of seconds. Taking things a step further is the fact that we can now get information on-the-fly thanks to mobile news services. But what about things on the other side of the fence? Wouldn't it be great if you, as a journalist, could use your mobile to relay your articles and stories? Well, if Nokia and Reuters get their way, then that just might become a reality.

Nokia Research Center (NRC) and Reuters are working together on a mobile journalism project that could transform the way journalists file news reports when on the move. The new mobile application is the first project to be showcased from a long term research collaboration that has been established between NRC and Reuters. It centres around a lightweight toolkit that provides everything journalists need to file and publish stories from even the most remote regions of the world.

The project also introduces the Mobile Journalism Toolkit, composed of the Nokia N95, a Nokia SU-8W portable keyboard, a tripod, a microphone from Sony and Power Monkeys. For more information, click on the source link below.
