Texting has become very popular over the years and has expanded from just a tool of the young to all demographics. Its no surprise that young people would eventually be able to use texting as a way of reporting.
In my New Media class (MCM 430) my teacher showed us how to do a news story by simply using a simple device found in pants pockets or cases. The cell phone can take pictures of the person being interviewed and the reporter can text in AP format all the things they have learned.
I doubt that large markets will be using this anytime soon, but as far as stories done by students in High School & College this is a great outlet for news gathering with limited resources.
This is Stephen Robinson signing off.
