smartphone journalism

Smartphone journalism is the practice of using smartphones to gather, report, and share news stories. Journalists leverage smartphones’ built-in cameras, microphones, and internet connectivity to quickly capture photos, videos, and information from any location. This allows for real-time reporting, often directly from the scene of an event, with minimal equipment. Smartphone journalism enables faster dissemination of news and greater accessibility, empowering both professional journalists and citizen reporters to contribute and verify stories instantly. It has transformed traditional journalism by making news collection more immediate and flexible, especially in breaking or rapidly evolving situations.
