Nokia and Reuters team up to transform how journalists file stories in the field
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 centres around a lightweight toolkit that provides everything journalists need to file and publish stories from even the most remote regions of the world. Through an ongoing trial that started this summer, select Reuters journalists around the world are using the mobile journalism application in their everyday work to edit, combine and file text, images, sound and live and recorded video streams, producing and publishing multi-media stories of broadcast quality without needing to return to the studio or office. Metadata facilities automatically combine every piece of information the device already has about the context for the story - location, time, date and so on. For the trial, GPS integrated video-streaming technology was provided by Comvu. Reuters has already developed a mobile editorial interface that links the toolkit developed by NRC to the in-house editorial process, allowing stories to be published almost instantly from the field. A group of university students will also use the application in coming months, to give an idea of how the toolkit could possibly work in a future citizen journalism context. (PR Newswire via CNN)
