Journalism in the 21st century has been radically changed through the ubiquitous connectivity and sharing of mobile social media, and a cultural shift is required for journalism educators to enable engagement and critical reflection upon the use of mobile social media into new pedagogical strategies (Poerksen, 2011; Balsamo, 2011). A sustained community of practice of like-minded journalism educators, was brought together to investigate the potential of mobile social media within their teaching and professional practice (Cochrane, Sissons, & Mulrennan, 2012). The paper evaluates several examples of integrating mobile social media within new pedagogical frameworks applied to journalism education.
