EmailNow that people have pretty much accepted the rather obvious fact that MMJs working with iPhones on their own can produce some stunning work, there is a new argument:
MJs are great for soft feature stories, but when it comes to doing hard news, you really need a camera person and a 'real' camera.
Let us put this next piece of nonsense to rest right now.
Here's a powerful investigative story done by Spectrum News 1 MMJ Olivia Levada - and the first story right out of MMJ bootcamp.
This is pure reporting, pure journalism.
And it was all done by one MMJ with an iPhone.
Nothing more.
It's a great story, and of course, only the very beginning both for Olivia, for Spectrum News 1 in Texas and for the entire Spectrum News network across the country.
Well done!

No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
