UC Berkeley-Cingular Wireless Project
CSJ reporters are using new cell and digital transmission technology provided by Cingular Wireless this semester as part of a joint education project.

The journalists are testing these cell phones at sporting events around the Bay Area to enhance their reporting in a variety of ways.
The reporters use the phones to reach sources and remain in contact with editors by voice, and can also use them to file their text stories, record and transmit sound clips of interviews, and take photos and transfer them directly to editors.
Here you'll find sample photos and audio clips related to the project. CSJ thanks Cingular, Motorola and Sony Ericsson for their support, also that of Paul Grabowicz and Scot Hacker of the School of Journalism.
