Un terrible accidente en Japón: doce coches, cuatro muertos y 13 heridos. Las imágenes que se emiten en el noticiario son del vídeo grabado por un caminero usando su teléfono con cámara y enviado el vídeo por correo electrónico a la emisora:
There were no traffic helicopters swooping down to get a better look at the crash and no reporters dispatched to the stretch of highway where the pileup took place that morning. Instead, Japanese TV viewers first saw the crash thanks to another truck driver who used his camera phone to shoot video of the wreckage.
A few e-mails and phone calls later, the trucker was live on Japan’s public broadcaster — NHK — describing the crash scene to the nation as the TV station broadcast the grainy video from his cell phone.
¿Será así el periodismo del futuro o no pasará de anécdota curiosa?
