Today’s convergence media incorporates the corroborative reporting tools of audio and video, along with the power to produce and disseminate information at previously unimaginable speed and scale, as provided by the Internet. The visual journalist performs all of these duties, including editing and producing. It is becoming increasingly rare to find photographers performing only the duties ascribed to them in a pre-digital economy. Convergence media has taken photojournalism to new heights and also shaken it to its core, specifically in terms of the business model under which traditional media outlets are potentially adaptive. Mobile journalism and its offspring, citizen journalism, are playing a significant role in the changing visual media landscape.
