Mobile Media Toolkit

The Ohio University chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists suggests mobile apps for journalists.

This week at Ohio University, Emma Morehart of the Society of Professional Journalists led a disucssion on recommended apps for journalists. Here's a list from Ohio University's SPJ Blog, and the entire discussion is on Storify.

• iTalk: From Griffin Technology, this recording app for iPhones or iPads allows you to select from different levels of recording quality and send the file via email, Dropbox, or iTunes.
• Flipboard: Converts social media content into a personalized, digital magazine on your iPhone or iPad, and can be used to keep news streams in one location.
• HootSuite or TweetDeck: These social media dashboards help you organize social media content. HootSuite works on iPhone and iPad, Android, Blackberry, and Keitai, and TweetDeck works on iPhone and Android.
• Dropbox: A file sharing app that works across multiple mobile devices allows you to share, access, and manage files, including photo, video, and other multimedia story elements. 
• iPrompt: With this app, you can convert your iPhone or iPod touch into a teleprompter for reporting live from the field. 
• Police Scanner: Access real-time emergency alerts on your iPhone, and record and save events.
