
Limited Camera-As great as smartphone cameras have become, they are still
fairly limited. They do not film or photograph well in low light settings.
Working alone-The downside to all the freedom and independence mobile
journalism grants you is that working alone can be very difficult. This means you’ll
be responsible for every step of the process.
Data Dependence - Being on the go and reporting from a wide variety of
locations means that oftentimes, you won’t have a reliable connection.
Battery - Today’s smartphones, with all of their capabilities, generally don’t have
batteries that are built to last that long especially for how much a journalist needs
them.
Storage capacity-As a mobile journalist, you’ll quickly find yourself deleting
things from your phone to make room for a new video.
