What is a mobile device?
A mobile device is a computing device that usually has some sort of screen, and can be anything from your cellphone to a calculator. Mobile devices allow you to communicate with others and get information anytime, anywhere.
In this case, using mobile devices for news gathering, it is common to use for example a digital video camera, mobile phone with a camera already installed or a pocket sized portable computer. All of these devices aid a journalist in quick and easy ways to gather news. It also makes it easy for the journalist/ citizen journalist to report back to the office faster.
