App for journalists: PocketVideo, for editing short videos for social media
This article mainly talks about the app in question, Pocket video. It goes through its functions and how it can be used by anyone. It talks about how you can optomise video for snapchat and YouTube which are now to major social media and video sharing sites where people tell the news and share the views and values.
This is surprising that it is almost being promoted by another journalist whilst a lot of them are saying how because anyone can pick up a phone and record something that it's lowering the quality of news reporting and putting there jobs in jeopardy. Obviously people have mixed reviews about this as some are welcoming apps like PocketVideo as they see it has a chance to further their careers but other people see it as a threat to theirs, it is both but in my opinion i do see it as a good thing because citizen journalism can gives us fast and some-what accurate news stories hours before they're even known about by large news institutions and journalists.
