Assistant Professor Judd Slivka explains how to use mobile tools while reporting to quickly generate direct-to-social content. Slivka teaches multimedia journalism and introduced the fire core journalism course taught entirely mobile devices at the University of Missouri.

  15. Slivka demonstrated a variety of iOS application that pass the 90 second test and can be incredibly helpful when reporting from mobile devices. Among them, "Type A", "Video in Video", "PicPlayPost", "Diptic Video" and many more.
  21. Some attendees even tried out the apps during the presentation.
