Citizen journalism is poised to take a great leap into the mainstream media as the mobile phone network 3 pursues talks with ITN and Sky News about feeding clips produced by its customers on to television news bulletins.

A deal would create a direct channel for anyone caught up in a big news event.

Well this is something I’ve been thinking about for some time. This is quite interesting though:

"The onus will be on the people, such as TV companies, publishing the content to check their sources," said Mr Fuller.

@patphelan heh hope you're having a good sunday. Time for some steak, I think.

@patphelan if you standby, I'll need to phone Ewan and pass on y our message. I'm one of Ewan's 300-strong ghost Twitter writing team. ;-)

@_netromworld_ that's a difficult choice... the iPhone 3GS is still a total delight to use -- and the camera is much, much improved...

@ilana could be good research for the next book though

@nokiamobiletalk I had one for about a year -- still have it somewhere -- reliable if a little slow at times, good battery
