Sky News is now available in handy iPhone app form. As well as serving you up palm-sized bursts of news and video clips, Sky also want you to contribute your own citizen journalism.
Sky News is a quick and convenient way of downloading digital news content from the Sky website. News stories, pictures and video clips can be grabbed from seven categories covering sports, current affairs, etc. including the ever-popular ‘Strange News’. You can sign up for breaking news alerts – which will be delivered by SMS until Apple get their finger out about notifications.
The Sky News app is the second iPhone program from BSkyB – following the popular (among Sky+-using iPhoners) Remote Record released last year.
Sky aren’t content to just push their news at you, however. They want to be able to take your news.. and then push it right back out again! Using the Sky News app you can upload stories and pictures of your own. The next time you find yourself within phonecam distance of a natural disater or similar item of national import, you can snap away and become a Citizen Journalist.
