EmailIn the video above, Michael talks to a group of Italian journalists about the future of journalism as we know it, mobile journalism, and the merits of the VJ model.
Michael was asked to talk to this group by friend of the site Fancesco Facchini, a mobile journalist, who also believes that the media landscape has been completely destroyed by the Internet and new mobile technologies. It is at this starting point, that we can begin to build the new media landscape which has the potential to be democratic in it's nature, bottom-up in its distribution and international.
This comes ahead of Michael's talk at MoJoCon this week in Galway, Ireland that premiere gathering of mobile journalists in the world. Make sure to stay tuned to VJ World and our Facebook page for MoJoCon updates.
