Reuters and Nokia To Promote Mobile Journalism

CNET News reports that Reuters and the Nokia Research Center are working on a joint project to enable journalists to file and publish stories and multimedia news content from handheld devices instead of computers.

“Called Reuters Mobile Journalism, the initiative relies upon connecting peripherals to Nokia’s high-end N95 device–a Bluetooth-enabled keyboard, a small tripod for video interviews, and a microphone that can plug into the mobile handset–as well as software to make it easier to put together text, images and streaming media.”

This looks like great stuff to us; for more info on the project, check out the new Web site at http://www.reutersmojo.com/.
