Mobile reporting is a trend emerging in the field of news and content generation.[1][2] The term describes the use of a mobile phone as a reporting tool. The user creates text, photo and video that combined produces a multimedia based report. The content is edited on the phone before being uploaded to the internet via mobile network or Internet connection.[3] Usually mobile reporting is used for publishing to the web.[4] This is particularly the case with video as the technology does not yet allow for the production of high end video. However, the low quality is suitable for Internet.
Mobile reporting is particularly relevant in areas that lack modern Internet infrastructure (Sub Sahara Africa,[5][6] Central Asia, South America, Latin America).[7] [8]The mobile phone is low in cost when compared to more traditional reporting equipment.
