In a crisp, 6-minute mobile video, Gerald Yawulkpuy introduces the local news from his community.
Welcome to Ramo News – all the news from Ramingining. My name is Gerald Yawulkpuy, good evening.
Tonight, the very successful Youth Week Program. The Court in town for the first time, and the opening of our wet season swimming pool.
But first of all, an update on the critical situation in Ramingining about the road conditions and the fuel for the power station.
Gerald is just one of a growing number of mobile journalists, or Mojos, creating video stories from remote regions in the Northern Territory of Australia. He learned how to use an iPhone kit to create, edit, and upload news stories as part of a project called NT Mojos. The project empowers indigenous people to have a local voice and to provide a less marginalized view of everyday indigenous life in Australia by enabling trained reporters in remote communities to create and share the stories most important to them.
Training instructors use basic Mojo “kits” made up of iPhone hardware and a single video editing application.
