I've tried to cover a good many of the ways in which journalism has changed in various recent MMJ Masterclasses.

In the introduction to Masterclasses 22-25  I used this bullet-pointed list of how reporting has been transformed. I said:

"The key elements in this revolution are these:

• The birth of new journalistic forms – key among them curation and live blogging
• Smartphones that give everyone the ability to broadcast live, multimedia content from anywhere, any time
• New mobile, geo-location platforms that combine news and community, and root reporting to place
• World-changing events that can’t be covered adequately by traditional journalists using traditional means of reporting
• The demand from many – call them citizen journalists or just eye witnesses - to be part of the reporting process"

The riots in London and other English cities have offered a prime example of how reporting has changed. We've seen all of the above in evidence. The image, by the way, is from an inventive websie called Photoshoplooter.

Because all this is so topical,  I'm making a lot of this material available outside the MMJ paywall for a short period.

Follow me @andybull on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ and you'll be able to see what's available when.

Or you can subscribe to Multimedia Journalism: A Practical Guide, by buying the textbook, in paper or e-book form, and get all online content free.
