• The popularity of social media and online video platforms has revolutionized how news is
being disseminated
• Facebook and Twitter rank highly as online news sources today, whilst YouTube has
enabled video contribution to fuel the demand for real-time, interactive news updates
• Today we see professional journalists working together with a network of citizen
contributors - either to develop stories or to update a news report with the latest
information
• Citizen journalism has already impacted the way major news organizations operate,
successfully incorporated amateur video or pictures of breaking news stories into their
programming mix.
• Applying Social Media (such as Facebook, Twitter or Vine) can be an effective tool for
raising awareness and driving response during Disaster Relief
• Social Media was effectively used during Typhoon Haiyan to not only break the news but
inform Aid Organizations where best to direct their efforts
The changing role of the journalist

• The role of satellite as a key enabler for journalists and public citizens to
report and broadcast from anywhere should not be underestimated
• Satellite technology provides a significant advantage in allowing journalists to
operate with Internet access when outside of cellular coverage, and to make
use of their personal devices to stay connected at all times
• Thuraya is pioneering the concept of BYOD
• What’s next – “wearable technology”
• Wearable technology such as Google Glass provide journalists with greater
flexibility and new levels of technical sophistication
