Nokia Toolkit for Reporters and Citizen Journalists

Ranked No.1 for Distance MA Program. Recognized by DEC, UGC!
citizen journalist n95Nokia has released an N-95 mobile phone based kit for journalists to file news reports and multimedia stories (images and videos) while they are in the field without having to visit the news studio.
This mobile journalist kit contains an N95 phone, a Sony microphone for recording interviews, keyboard for typing text-based stories, tripod and a solar charger (so you can even report from locations where there's no electricity).
The toolkit is currently being testing by a select group of Reuters journalists but the next target could well be citizen journalists.
Vlogger Steve Garfield (see in the picture) has been doing something similar with an N95 for a long time now.
