ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at different aspects of working on your own – as a self-contained multimedia operator, as a journalist working from home (WFH) and as a freelance. All these ways of operating have their attractions and their disadvantages. In terms of how the material is gathered, the process is very similar to that for other platforms, particularly when it comes to recording audio and video. If you want to try your hand at mobile journalism be sure to read the chapters about radio and television journalism first. MOJO is highly appealing for young journalists. You probably already have the phone, so your only additional expenses are data charges and the costs of subscribing to whatever apps you feel you need to make yourself completely self-contained in production terms.
