The standards of visual journalism have to be defined yet. But the tools are already available. At the World economic summit in Davos Nokia provided a couple of VIPs with it's N82 mojo phone and - in co operation with Reuters - asked them to provide photos and videos - real time news coverage by high class citizen journalists.
One of the test candidates was Jeff Jarvis, who now via blog shares his remarkable experiences. The people he interviewed didn't take the Nokia serious as they would have taken a video camera plus a complete TV team. So they behaved less nervous and were more open in their statements. Neverteheless the quality of footage (including audio) was quite good. Jeff's conlusion: Tools like the N82 "may change the job of the journalist in ways more radical than I could have imagined until I started reporting with one".
