Over on Lost Remote, the Washington Post is claiming that its live stream of Hillary Clinton at yesterday’s Democrat convention in the US was one of the first times a newspaper has carried out this type of live video coverage using a mobile.
Reporter Ed O’Keefe used a mobile phone and software by Comet Technologies to produce the clip, which can be viewed here.
