They are everywhere.
A news report in the old days consisted of a team of people; a reporter, a camera person and a sound engineer.
Nowadays all that falls on one person who acts as reporter/camera/sound person at once.
It’s a tough gig considering all the FHRITP renegades that are roaming the streets.
However, it looks like reporting is about to advance to the next level, and to get it there – the selfie stick.
The picture of this reporter could be a glimpse into the future.

We imagine Ciaran Mullooly, Joe Stack and company are off the purchase a selfie stick as we speak.
