As a journalist in the 21st century I want to be able to work on creating my pieces (be they audio or written) whenever and wherever I need to. Because stories don't come to you, you have to go to them. If I could use any new media technology to make my job easier it would probably be a streaming audio function (I am not sure if that is the right term for what I mean).
Basically, I would like to be able to make my package (wherever I am) and simply by being connected to the internet I can upload this package onto my site or any other site that might have commissioned me to produce it, and people can listen to it immediately. I'm not quite sure if people already do this, but if they do, I want in on it as well. In the 21st century everything is about who got there first. Timeliness and speed are imperatives in a competitive environment like the journalism world. But I also believe a rushed job is a bad job, so I don't want to lose out on valuable interviewing and researching time just because I have to race back to the office. With this function, whatever it may be called I don't need to rush as much. Also I want to be able to cross live to a website from wherever I am, not only upload packages. I hope whoever reads this understands what I am trying to say. As someone who technology conspires against, I am not too good with these terms and things, so please be patient with me. So yes, I would like a new media product that can afford me the flexibility of working anywhere in the world and still getting my info, packages and stories to wherever they need to be in a matter of minutes. What a wonderful world that would be...
