Australian journalist Ivo Burum began his presentation with a bold statement: ”(Previous presenters) have said we need to have the right phone, which is true; we do. But we also need to know how to use one.”

Burum highlighted how this shift in production may blur the lines of what is journalism.  Before showing a preview video of a piece his company recently put together, he said, “you can decide whether that’s journalism or not.”

The piece detailed his company giving isolated, indigenous Australian tribes a collection of iPhones so they could be trained to create their own stories.

“The big question we’re facing,” he said, “is whether or not we’re going to ask people out there to create their own stories — to embrace them — so they can be a part of the dialogue we’re having today.”
