EmailNow that people have pretty much accepted the rather obvious fact that MMJs working with iPhones on their own can produce some stunning work, there is a new argument:
MJs are great for soft feature stories, but when it comes to doing hard news, you really need a camera person and a 'real' camera.

Well done!

How to appeal to a demographic that spends most of their time on social media?
