'Backpack Journalism' refers to :

  • A.Journalists who travel extensively to cover international news
  • B.A method where journalists carry all necessary equipment to report, edit and transmit stories
  • C.Focusing exclusively on travel and adventure stories
  • D.Journalists working remotely from various location

Answer: B

Backpack journalism is a method where journalists carry all necessary equipment to report, edit and transmit stories.

A backpack journalist, or solo video journalist, works alone with a compact kit, typically a camera, microphone, laptop and connectivity, and does the jobs once divided among a reporter, camera operator, editor and producer, filing finished stories directly from the field. Lighter, cheaper digital equipment made this possible.

The term is not about travel: extensive international travel describes foreign correspondents, and travel and adventure writing is a genre. Working remotely from various places describes where a journalist works, not the self-sufficient multimedia method the term refers to.
