The N90--New Species or New Journalism
Eamonn, a Irishman based in Munich who has a day job with a leading multi-language publishing group asks the question if the N90 is new species of mobile device vs. just simply a phone.
The N90 is a mobile device that is ideally suited for those type of new era journalists, especially those who are planning on adding, or already are embedding audio and video in their content as Eamonn also pointed out.
Eamonn's is one more example of traditional journalists who are also bloggers. They end their day job and blog at night. Some write blogs as part of their job for the media outlet so as PR/BR professioanls we're seeing that line being blurred each week as blogging takes on a broader role in the media space and also enables journalists to cover more stories they learn about on a daily, not monthly basis. This approach keeps their "story flow" up and allows them to maximize their sources in case the big story comes their way. It's called working the news source and is an essential part of the job.
Since Eamonn is also aligned with a large publishing group Spotlight Verlag as Content Manager we've passed his request on to our Nokia contact to forward to the proper folks who are working with the traditional media.

Clearly, journalism is changing right before the eyes of the old guard journalist. In fact, these days we're as likely to be making news as we are reporting it. As the pace of everything increases, the need to be light on one's feet does too.
Tools like the N90 make it possible to immerse the reader in the experience that would previously have likely lived on only in the memory of the person actually there.
The thing is, many of us, as pointed out above, are (or were) journalists previously. The new medium of the blog, abetted by the Podcast, the Vidcast and the Photoblog are liberating environments to say the least.
But simply because one is liberated doesn't make one lax. Some of the most astute, pointed and timely commentary AND NEWS is coming from the blogosphere now and it's about time the tools started catching up with the medium.
