Yesterday I had the good fortune to attend a seminar on communications at the UCD Campus.
Among those who contributed to the day were journalist Charlie Bird, Shona Murray from Newstalk and Glen Mulcahy from RTE.
Glen Mulcahy gave a 45-minute talk on the use of modern technology. He explained how smart phones are now being used by CNN, BBC, UTV, ARD and RTE to make clips for news programmes.
He had some interesting snippets of information: one hundred hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.
Glen showed a short video clip of last year's flooding in England, which was made, edited and sent from a smart phone. The journalist's camera was damaged in the flooding and he had to improvise using his smart phone.
Charlie Bird stressed the importance of quality and truth. And he pointed out that any time a person is being interviewed a guiding principle should be, "what would your mammy tell you to do".
