Election coverage provided via mobile phone
News brought to you by Skint Tariffs, providers of price comparison for cheap international calls. Journalists are to put their mobile phones to use to keep the public up to date with the democratic process.
Handsets, which can be used to dial access codes to make cheap international codes, are to be harnessed to give the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo local newspaper website minute-by-minute coverage of the unfolding elections today.
Three vote counts will be staffed by video journalists using mobile phones to stream updates onto the paper's websites, the Press Gazette reports.
Broadband customers will be able to keep abreast of the ongoing process by logging on to the newspapers' websites.
Daily Post editor Mark Thomas told the industry publication: "Our first attempt at online, as-it-happens election coverage last year was well-received, viewed by around 4,000 people overnight.
"That was prior to the ground-breaking relaunch of the Post and Echo websites. Our web traffic on both sites has increased massively in the last year and we are in a unique position to provide a depth of coverage which no other media outlet in the region can rival."
