What's a Mojo?

A Mojo is the term used for Mobile Journalist. A Mobile Journalist is in short terms, "a journalist who does it all." We take our own photos, videos, writes the story, and then publishes the Multimedia remotely into use on web sites, Blogs, and for publication in magazines or news print.
Armed with a camera, and laptop, the Mojo works from the field and doesn't necessarily work from a desk. Mojos are profitable for companies primarily due to the fact they produce much more content than traditional reporters, take their own photos (so in most cases there's no need for a photographer), take their own video (so in most cases there's no need for video personnel), and don't require permanent office space. Mojos can work from anywhere.
