Description
Abstract: Smartphones have revolutionized journalism, rendering traditional tools such as OB vans and Live U machines obsolete. This paper examines the transformation within the media industry, highlighting the growing reliance on smartphones for news gathering, production, and broadcasting. With over 647.53 million smartphone users in India, leading Indian news channels, such as Aaj Tak, Times Now, and News18, have adopted smartphone journalism, utilising platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to reach a broader audience. This study explores the impact of this shift on traditional journalism practices, the advantages and challenges posed by mobile journalism, and its implications for the future of the news industry [1].
