"Mobile journalism means journalism using mobile phones. Mobile journalists, or mojos, extend the newsgathering options for a news organisation, especially for breaking news, says Stephen Quinn. By citing examples not only from Asia, but also the United States and Europe, he reports on the techniques of mojo reporting as well as the integration of mobile journalism in the newsroom structures. He also provides details about the six main software providers and recommends some software tools. Altogether, this is an easy-to-read introduction to an emerging field of online journalism."
