Mobile journalism is journalism on the go, facilitated by the critical aid of mobile devices like cell phones.
Briggs gives the example of Nicola Dowling, who was able to take pictures of a celebrity car crash with her cell phone and then e-mail them back to her newspaper before police had even arrived on the scene. Because Dowling was able to communicate share information in a mobile manner, she was a step ahead of traditional news organizations who sent professional photographers to the same site only to find that the authorities were keeping the press out.
The mobile journalist is always on assignment and always ready to report on what is happening around him.
