Many journalists already use their smartphones as news gathering and publishing tools, but Mark Briggs of KING5.com in Seattle and the blog Journalism 2.0 says mobile devices can do so much more.
“Few reporters use smartphones as a research device,” Briggs says–a missed opportunity, in his opinion, because smartphones are “location aware.”
As an example, Briggs described how he might use a smartphone as the “Internet in your pocket” to cover a hypothetical breaking news story involving the evacuation of a Las Vegas hotel.
