Backpack Journalism

For better or for worse, backpack journalism is here to stay. If it is possible for one person to do the job of four, then it would be nearly unthinkable to believe that the industry would not take advantage of this. Additionally, this type of journalism could be superior to the typical style when used effectively. The producer-driven method seems better because it gets more reporters in more places so as to get more perspectives on the situation. The coverage would be broader, with more reporters with more equipment in more places.
