New Delhi: The Times School of Media at Bennett University has adapted to changing technologies and offers students the experience of creating multimedia storytelling using smartphones, announced Prof (Dr) Sanjeev Ratna Singh, Dean, Times School of Media, on Friday.
. “The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur,” Elon Musk’s famous words have proven correct when it comes to the evolution of 360-degree journalism or Mobile Journalism (MoJo) in today’s world. The number of paid digital-only subscribers was approximately 8.83 million as of December 31, 2022.
The Times School of Media at Bennett University has adapted to these changing technologies and offers students the experience of creating multimedia storytelling using smartphones. Students are encouraged to dabble in emerging technologies and AI tools to enhance this experience for viewers. The idea is to give exposure to all technologies and the latest equipment to the students to help them emerge as the next generation of multimedia content creators.

Offering a level playing field to anyone who has a smartphone, MoJo has become even more attractive due to its low cost. Today’s smartphones are affordable, come with high quality cameras, are user-friendly and their small size makes them a convenient tool to carry in a pocket which is a huge advantage over the traditional and cumbersome equipment of the past. In today’s world, anyone can use their smartphones to record/shoot videos and share them on social media without having to involve big or traditional media organisations. Once a video or post goes viral, most news networks pick up the relevant news items and publish it on their sites as well.
Owing to the additional pressure, professional journalists have changed the way they collect data. Almost everyone in the business is busy taking photos, videos or screenshots of social media posts which are shared on office WhatsApp groups before they are converted into ‘breaking news’ items. In India, some TV companies changed the way their newsrooms functioned, they gave golden handshakes to employees and took a leap to bridge the digital divide. This signifies a digital shift away from conventional broadcasting which is now a global trend.
