Digital Home Thoughts: How Digital Technologies Enabled Solo Journalism

"As one of the world's most respected war correspondents, Kevin Sites has spent the past five years covering global war and disaster for several national networks. Sites helped pioneer solo journalism, working completely alone, traveling, and reporting without a crew. As a solo journalist ("SoJo"), Sites carries a backpack of portable digital technology to shoot, write, edit, and transmit multimedia reports. His past assignments have brought him to nearly every region of the world, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South America, and Eastern Europe."

I can't seem to find any details about what type of gear Kevin Sites uses - other than what appears to be a Sony MiniDV camera. What I find most interesting is that he does everything by himself - he sets up the camera on a tripod, shoots his segment, edits it, then uploads it to the network. It's amazing how digital technologies can empower people to do things they couldn't otherwise do. Go digital!
