    Mobile journalism, or MoJo, allows journalists to gather and deliver news using smartphones and tablets. It empowers individual storytellers to make visual stories using consumer technology. MoJo differs from broadcast journalism in its use of vertical frames suited for phones, ability to get closer to subjects, and capability to work without additional audio equipment. Key components of MoJo include shooting, editing, publishing/streaming, and consuming content on mobile devices. MoJo helps by making news universally accessible, keeping journalists closer to unfolding stories, and providing an affordable way to tell stories from the field without intimidating subjects.

    Tips for making good MoJo
    • Since tech is limited - try and focus on your story
    • If possible – think through all the different shots
    and interviews you need and form a checklist
    • It is easier to get close to the subject without
    using digital zoom – use that
    • Simple is fast and easy = good
    • Experiment with your shooting angles
    Challenges
    • Always prioritize safety over your shot
    • Just because you have a camera, do not forget
    basic ethics of filming, taking pictures
    • Be aware of what is going on around you –
    this is important for following the story and
    for ensuring safety
    • Learn the limits of your equipment
