I guess you've heard about Mobile Journalism these days and with the growing number of smart phone numbers in the world is making all more easy for Mobile journalism with all the interactive features that these phones have there are many applications available from mainstream news organizations, like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Sky News these are some of the international sites that i am talking about then when it comes to indian sites like there is NDTV, CNBC 18 and host of others. The mobile apps are a step in the right direction, but disappointingly most don't offer much beyond the ability to read or share the news stories that are available elsewhere on the web.

So what kind of applications can revolutionize Mobile Journalism?

News Apps on Smartphones

idea posted by Sonal Singh Project Manager, Nortel Networks

The smart phone is a powerful tool that can elevate journalism beyond just reading stories, but also interacting with them in new and different ways. I myself use an iphone and believe me guys this phone is great and in a way helps a lot with all those applications with which it is compatible with.

If news sites and mobile phone service providers come up with something like, if some incident has happened and some one has seen it , in a way one should be able to provide that news with pics and description to the news channel directly.  And this makes the news reach even much faster than what it used to be, and in a way with Mobile subscription increasing on a daily basis in India, this is kind of application will improve Mobile journalism and will change the face of journalism totally in the country.

Nokia Podcasting application

idea posted by Himanshu Pathak Sr/Principal Coresspondent, Coresspondent

Mobile journalist can podcaste their latest news to Internet and Nokia Podcasting application allows people to find, subscribe to and download podcasts over the air with Nokia N91 as well as with other S60 3rd edition devices. After downloading a podcast, people can listen to or watch it when they want. This would help in flashing out the news quickly.
