Hi Ndesanjo
I am reading for an MA in Journalism at Wits University in Johannesburg and am interested in the use of mobiles in reporting as well as interacting with news items.
Are you aware of any other projects? What about sms news alerts??
Any additional thoughts/advice you may have would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Craig
