Tweet news is possible in different media. News can be tweeted via Twitter, TwitVid, TwicMic, and TwitPic. And Twittelator allows us to tweet text, audio and video in one application. Give it a try and see how it goes in practicing your mobile journalism and share with us your experience and expertise.

With FaceMic, VideoUp, and facebook on iPhone, multimedia on the go is not a dream but a reality. You can publish your video stories on facebook via VideoUp, audio stories via FaceMic, text story via iPhone facebook. With these three applications on your iPhone, you can easily produce multimedia stories on the go. These three applications together others on your iPhone, you own a mobile news studio, reporting and disseminating news anytime anywhere.

Data can also be visualized as well as integrated into storytelling on the mobile. At RoamBi.com, a mobile publishing site, you can publish your data in iPhone way. Visualized data can presented in many different ways. They can also be integrated in telling and sharing stories on the mobile Web.

CBS News Mobile is simple in design and yet rich in presentation. It starts with five choices for users to choose for different media and content: (1) sections (2) videos, (3) shows, (4) alerts, and (5) weather. The homepage presents top story headlines neatly placed, followed by a further choice button “See All”.

Once a top story headline is clicked, web viewers will be able to view the full story.  At the end of each story, web viewers are given further different choices: (1) view full story, (2) next top story, (3) related pictures, (4) related stories, (5) back to section home, and (6) see all sections. To share stories, two most popular sharing channels are offered: twitter and delicious.

CBS News Mobile also offers web viewers platforms to work as citizen journalists to report local and hyperlocal news. And citizen reports around the world are also presented.

Although still some room for improvement, CBS Mobile provides an example of what is mobile journalism about.
