This study aims to identify the role of mobile journalism in enriching the
media content of Algeria's public media in local radio stations, where
mobile media is a new media form, due to the fast development of
information and communications technologies from classical to digital. in
this study we have addressed the ratio of journalists' use of mobile
journalism, in addition to the most important motivations that led local
broadcasters to use this type of press. It covered also the methods and
applications that characterize the mobile media. And this pushed us to
know the real extent to which Algerian local radio stations use mobile
journalism. The study was applied to a sample of local radio journalists in
Ghardaia, Wargla and Mila, estimated at 5 journalists per radio, with a
total of 15 journalists, relying on a qualitative approach, observation and
interview tools.
Thus, we raised the following problem: "How does mobile journalism
contribute to enriching media content in Algerian local radio?"
And the most important findings we have reached were, first, the
proportion of mobile journalism use in Algerian local radio stations varies
from radio station to another according to interest, desire and training.
Also, the motives that led Algerian local broadcasters to utilize mobile
journalism are: keeping abreast with technological development, the fast
flow of information and seeking to stay competitive with other media by
targeting the electronical audience. Second, the editorial methods of
mobile journalism differ from classic editing methods, because writing for
a picture requires the knowledge of the editor about narrowing and
keywords control. Since the mobile media is still in its early stages in
Algerian local radio stations, mastering these methods requires being
skilled and trained. Finally, the management of mobile journalism
applications by the Algerian local radio stations is relatively good,
considering that mobile media is still in its beginnings in Algeria. And the
difference noted in the mastery of these apps depends on how much
interest each radio station gives for the training.
