Q&A with Eleanor Mannion - RTE Mobile Journalist

Hi everyone!

Our October Meetup presenter is Eleanor Mannion - a Mobile Journalist and News Co-ordinator with the RTÉ Newsroom in Ireland.

As well as producing short-form mobile journalism features for RTÉ's main evening TV bulletins, Eleanor filmed and directed 'The Collectors' for RTÉ's Factual Unit.

The Collectors is a 52 minute documentary and is Europe's first documentary filmed in 4K on an iphone for television broadcast.

You can watch the show in full here (https://youtu.be/1Sei3soM8I0), and see the equipment Eleanor used to make it here (https://www.thinglink.com/scene/811561467353497602).

We'll play part of the documentary and then Eleanor will join us live from Dublin to answer your questions about how 'The Collectors' was made - along with other questions you might have about how she uses smartphones daily as a working professional journalist.

Remember: RSVPs are essential!

Best wishes

John McHugh, Daniel Jackson - Meetup organisers
