“I’ve been asked often whether I believe mobile phones will replace legacy journalism – most often by weary peers. I do not. But I do believe that a mobile journalism kit should be at every journalist’s disposal. Communicating directly with the social media audience is the future of journalism — eliminating the top-down approach to news. Now is the time for all in media to embrace it fully, and help move the technology forward,” Shadi Rahimi on how AJ+ reported from Baltimore using only mobile phones
