Sneak preview into the newsroom of the future
The world of journalism is changing, and nowhere is that change being felt more intensely than in the working newsroom.
Newsroom change is nothing new: typewriters were replaced by giant desktop word processing systems, desktops were then replaced by laptops, and now laptops make way for palm based reporting devices and video capable phones. As reporting goes mobile, maybe the very notion of a newsroom is going to become a thing of the past. Maybe even printed newspapers will disappear.
Mobile internet is the watchword for the future.
The convergence of video, text, GPS tagging, audio, hyperlinks and instant uploading mean a whole new universe for journalism and its accessibility for the public. Also, we’ll soon be able to edit text, to insert or delete images and graphs, to publish articles by touching a screen.
The clue will be to know where the business value, applications and real-life possibilities of these new assets are.
