In the first session, Teddy Tri Setio Berty, a journalist from Liputan6.com, introduced the concept of mobile journalism (MoJo) as a content production approach that relies on simple devices like smartphones.

He explained that the changing landscape of journalism requires media to be able to produce and distribute information quickly, without having to rely on expensive equipment.

This material highlights how visuals can capture the audience's attention amidst the flood of content, while also simplifying complex information to make it easier to understand.
