South Africa: Nokia promotes mobile journalism through student project

Facebook Twitter LiveJournal

Nokia is teaming with two South African universities to sponsor a project in which students will create mobile journalism ('mojo') packages. Students at the University of Witwatersrand (UW) and CityVarsity will use 'mojo' broadcasting kits, featuring the Nokia N95 handset, to capture video, audio, and images.

"This is one of the first projects in the world to use mobile phones as the tools for gathering stories and as the platforms that the audience will watch them on," says Indra de Lanerolle, a lecturer at UW's journalism program.

The project began in mid-June and will run until October. Students are expected to produce new material at least once daily.

"The challenge we are setting our students is to use these great storytelling devices to produce content that their peers will want to watch and download," says de Lanerolle.
