Postmodern CriticiReport turns cell phone user into field reporters
September 1st 2008 00:34
Did you see the FAA computer crash story on CNN? Did you go to CNN.com? If you did you saw an interesting link at the bottom that said "Are you stuck at the airport?" I couldn't help but check it out and it takes you to a service called iReport, this allows you to upload photos and video to the iReport site and add your comments to the piece. CNN then picks the best pieces while the story is hot and some of them do make it to air. So there were a lot of folks with there travel woes on the site of course.
iReport allows you to create your own stories on any topic. This is just another example of video journalism in our always connected world. Im not sure if I like everyone with a cell phone being the "man on the street" but it is still good for CNN to show that they are listening to the regular folks and using some cool technology as well.
Peace.
