Professor Stephen Quinn has been researching and promoting the use of mobile journalism or "mojo" for over a decade. He discusses how mojo has advanced significantly since 2007 due to improvements in mobile technology. Quinn outlines both free and paid options for doing mojo work, demonstrating the basic free tool Qik and the paid app 1st Video. He emphasizes that while technology enables new forms of journalism, the quality of reporting depends on the skills of the journalist.
