Part 1 of 2:
CNN International hosts a panel discussion on the role of mobile technology in newsgathering, journalism and the consumption of news, at the Frontline Club in London on 22nd July 2010. Panellists include Louis Gump (CNN), Ben Hammersley (Wired UK), Alex Wood (Freelance Mobile Journalist), Andy Dickinson (University of Central Lancashire) and Jonathan Hewett (City University)

Mobile phones are changing the way we learn about and experience news. Citizen journalists and ordinary people are, increasingly, beating news crews to the scene of breaking news stories – the first accounts, often including photographs and video footage, of many of the defining news stories of our times have been captured and shared by ordinary people using mobile phones. Mobile technology is also becoming an essential part of the professional journalist’s tool-kit, allowing stories to be told with greater immediacy than ever before. Mobiles are also changing the way we consume news, allowing people on the move to keep abreast of the stories important to them.

I’m just trying to get a broad knowledge of what and how exactly freelance journalism works. Do they write the articles without any help from a company… As in, pay for their own hotels, plane tickets, food, and other things? What about foreign writers. Do they just decide to one day fly to another country in the middle of a war and write about it and take pictures. I read a lot of magazines about foreign news and world events and see a lot of articles about impoverished nations or African wars and their are pictures of horrible things and living conditions. Do people really just fly and stay a few weeks? or how long do they stay for? how much do they get paid? is it by project, word, time? How do they sell their articles, before they write it or after?

Like i said I’m just looking for as much knowledge about the subject as possible. I just really like to know things and this is something that peaked my interest. Thanks.
Any information on War correspondents would be great as well!

yes, they do.
