Periscope, Meerkat and the Journalism of Now | Mediashift

Periscope, Meerkat and the Journalism of Now | Mediashift | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

This semester’s Future of Journalism assignment centered on live streaming video. In the past two months, we’ve seen the emergence of two new apps — Meerkat and Periscope — that have turned streaming video into a niche experience into something that anyone with an iPhone can do. Streaming video has been around longer than these apps, available via services such as Ustream, but these apps have added simple, elegant interfaces and social sharing ease to the mix. Regular citizens and everyday reporters alike are now broadcast reporters.

(Editor’s note: A separate post on Meerkat ran last week, and our #EdShift chat at 1 ET Tuesday, April 14, will cover streaming services and their usefulness in classes and newsrooms.)

Consider what Dan Pfeiffer, the former press secretary for President Obama, said in a post recently about live streaming and the upcoming 2016 presidential campaign:

If 2004 was about Meetup, 2008 was about Facebook, and 2012 was about Twitter, 2016 is going to be about Meerkat (or something just like it)....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Meerkat and Periscope are both interesting tools for journalism and marketing. Several Mediashift articles will help guide you in learning more. Good reading.
