A posting on the WTOP website notes at one point journalists used reel-to-reel tape decks and TeleType machines.
Now, WTOP radio reporter Neal Augenstein is the first in the country to use his iPhone to report, edit and file his broadcast stories directly from the field.
In an attempt to keep up with the perpetually evolving news industry, a Washington, DC summit seeks to better incorporate these cutting-edge tools of the trade.
The Online News Association is holding the meeting through Saturday to discuss how to incorporate modern tools -- such as Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites -- into traditional broadcast and online print news.
Other discussion topics include how to use digital technology to cover a disaster, the hottest smartphone apps for reporters in the field, whether news sites should charge for content, how the digital world is affecting journalistic ethics and training and if those who post online should have to reveal their real name.
