Mobile video reporting is still meeting with resistance from African citizens and even some journalists, said Ameyaw Debrah, a Ghanaian mobile reporter, at the Digital Citizen Indaba 3.0 in Grahstown, South Africa. http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/090908-despite-potential-mobile-reporting-still.html?hpg1=bn

Those who are used to being interviewed in front of large television cameras fail to take journalists seriously when they produce mobile phones to create videos for online media, Debrah said.

However Debrah often uses his mobile phone to record and file news reports. Before beginning work, Debrah was trained in innovative reporting and mobile-phone use, he said in an interview. Journalists for the company are provided with small keyboards to enable them to work more quickly then they could on tiny mobile-phone key pads, he explained.
