When I saw this hi-def video of the Serendra car explosion yesterday, I thought this is the future of citizen journalism — live or almost live video broadcast of incidents as they happen, taken by ordinary people.
Still images are no longer enough. People want live video — high definition video. Take for example these series of footages taken by one of the witnesses in yesterday’s incident at Serendra / Boni High Street.
Technology drives citizens journalism. We need more mobile phones with HD video recording, more portables devices like the Flip MinoHD to be more affordable, and convergent devices like the iPod Nano Video to be more connected over-the-air and a much faster/better 3G connections for live “by the minute” coverage.

One thing that many antique hunters have resorted to carrying around in this particular reason is your back light. Using a black easy reveals things that you wouldn’t be able to see in our regular range of spectrum gentle. But, under the black light, these well-done maintenance become obvious.
Just think, if one of the 57 ampatuanized persons was able to broadcast live video …
Even better if the news networks had a UAV following the convoy.
Every freedom comes with at least one responsibility. The challenge for all of us is how to make the rapid pace of technology work for, not against, promoting social justice and development. :-) Such an exciting time we live in!
Definitely!
Technology drives citizen journalism and I would say there is more to come.
As Citizen Journalism seems like a god send for unbiased reports, and instant field reaction to the scene proper. Broadcast media still has a key role in this instant information world we live in.
Like yan example na video. Misleading, at masyadong instant wala pa masyadong information kasi kakaganap pa lang. So, IMO ang magiging trabaho dapat ng Mass media ngayun ay i filter at i analyze yung mga ganitiong entires sa internet. So far, may edge ang ABS ngayun compared sa GMA. GMA medyo nag tetesting pa sa youscoop nila (althou yung mga cory wake at yung burrial ay step up compared sa ABS special).
