Fox News Reporters Using Kyte Mobile Producer for iPhone to Cover Tragic Events In Haiti

Posted by: Gannon Hall    Under: Mobile |

The recent 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Haiti, resulting in an estimated death toll of 100,000 to 200,000 people, has shocked the world.

News organizations around the globe scrambled to cover the overwhelming devastation, sending thousands of reporters and photographers to the Caribbean country. Because of the widespread destruction and dangerous conditions, many news organizations have had difficulty sending camera crews into troubled areas.

In an effort to provide viewers authentic first-person accounts of current events, Fox News has outfitted more than 100 of its reporters with the Kyte Mobile Producer for iPhone application. 

The reporters' accounts, containing both video and still images uploaded to the Fox News website via the Kyte Mobile Producer for iPhone application, give viewers around the world unprecedented access to the tragic events in Haiti in real-time as they unfold. The application enables Fox News reporters to easily and quickly produce low-cost authentic content and upload it the Fox News website with just a few simple steps.

We're deeply saddened by the devastation in Haiti, so we feel especially honored that Kyte technology is helping to provide a level of access to this disaster that previously had not been possible. We sincerely hope the Kyte technology can play a small part in motivating people to lend a helping hand for the unfortunate victims of the earthquake.
