On March 27 and 28, the world’s first ever mobile journalism conference held in Dublin and organised by Irish broadcaster RTÉ.
The conference was held under the slogan ‘the future is mobile, the future is now’.
It was the most amazing experience where incredible journalists and storytellers from all over the world gathered under the same roof to discuss the evolution of mobile journalism.
Mobile journalism conference ( MojoConIrl) which was devoted purely to mobile journalism, storytelling and film-making was a great opportunity for me, many other academics and mobile journalists who create content for a variety of platforms – including TV, radio, print and social media – to share their lessons and experience.
According to Glen Mulcahy, innovation lead of RTÉ and organizer of the conference said, “It was an opportunity for people like that to come and hear what other people are doing, what trouble they have had, and to share work flows or strategies for how they approach this content production model.”
MoJoConIrl was a two-day event, with sessions discussing key areas in the field followed by masterclasses and workshops on the second day.
The sessions focused on the hot topics in mobile journalism, including technology and storytelling.
In total, there were 16 sessions and workshops delivered by more than 40 trainers and speakers to around 400 delegates.
To be a part of this, as an academic of new media, was a true privilege. It has really inspired me. I met so many nice people over the weekend. And finally I would like to say thanks to RTÉ and Glen Mulcahy for organizing this cool event.
