In addition to the standard smartphone equipment, such as a camera and social networking applications, we’ve compiled a list of five additional tools that can help a single journalist rival a fully-functional news team. With these tools, a mobile journalist can record data, edit clips, and broadcast polished stories as events unfold.

So, I'm looking to gauge opinion and support. Going by the turnout at last week's Scottish Social Media Dinner there's clearly a lot of journalists and media professionals who are happy to get together over a drink and share ideas. This could be a solid step to bringing the news community together, regularly, across the country, and helping find and share ideas which could give the industry the leg-up it needs online here.

If enough folk register an interest, I'll happily get the ball rolling with set-up, and we'll see where it goes from there.
