EmailThis May, Michael will return to MoJoCon in Galway, Ireland to discuss the future of video journalism in the age of smartphones.
MoJoCon is a conference run by RTE all about mobile journalism. More and more news outlets and journalists are utilizing smartphones in all aspects of their production chain. What used to take a crew and thousands of dollars worth of equipment can now be done with just a smartphone. You can shoot broadcast quality video on them, edit on them, and even publish.

The conference is in Galway, Ireland May 4-6.
