I've been involved in helping CNNi, a client, organise a panel discussion on the role of mobile phones in news gathering, journalism and the consumption of news. The event, which has Journalism.co.uk as an online media partner, will take place on Thursday 22 July at the Frontline Club in London. Tickets are free but you'll need to sign up in advance.
Here's more detail:
Mobile phones are changing the way we learn about and experience news.
Citizen journalists and ordinary people are, increasingly, beating TV
crews to the scene of breaking news stories. Mobile technology is
becoming an essential part of the professional journalist's tool-kit.
Mobiles are also changing the way we consume news, allowing people on
the move to keep abreast of the stories important to them.
