For now I have a plain-old flip phone, but if an iPhone or some type of smartphone is in my future, I will certainly take a look at the kind of apps that are handy for a reporter to have.
Wes Baker e-mailed me a link today to a list on poynter.org of eight must-have apps for reporters.
I suppose it's not a matter of if, but when. As every technology matures, we all eventually have it. From TVs, to color TVs, to cable, to PCs, to cellphones, to laptops, to HDTV, etc.
News reporters need everything at their disposal possible these days. More than ever it is important to get the news to the audience first. He who is first, gets the most traffic. And eyeballs equal dollar signs.
