Mobile Journalism and Dissemination

Abstract

Communication and dissemination of information forever changed after 1990, and media is changing to adapt or survive the emerging trends in use with new media. Smartphones with touch screens and online connectivity are more prevalent than computers in the digital age. Emerging new technologies have changed the journalism and styles of news presentation and dissemination as smartphones changed their audience. Mobile journalism is a journalistic practice in which a reporter uses a smartphone for reporting, recording, editing, and even uploading content on media port or air. The researcher is studying how journalists adapt the culture of mobile journalism in their journalistic tasks and the effects of mobile journalism on their work. It also tries to analyze news organizations' responses toward using mobile phones in journalism instead of traditional equipment and studio setups.
