Irish broadcast journalist and tech lead Glen Mulcahy started the Mobile Journalism Conference – or MojoCon – in 2015 and in three short years it revolutionised the way broadcast journalists think about production. Mobile technology has changed the world, and in 2017 the big topics included ‘Is Journalism Dead?’, ‘Snapchat Storytelling’, ‘Evolution of 360 video, AR and VR’ and ‘Women in Mojo’. Here’s our Tweet summary of Day One.
