Case Study: Sky News achieves 90-second mobile live broadcasting with Dejero

How a Sky News reporter uses her mobile phone to ‘go live’ in 90 seconds

Sky News needed a fast, reliable way to report live from breaking news scenes before a full crew could arrive, and reporter Harriet Hadfield turned to mobile journalism using an iPhone with Dejero installed. The challenge was to go live in as little as 90 seconds while maintaining broadcast quality, signal stability, and two-way communication with the Sky HQ team.

Dejero’s Dejero+ app and blended connectivity approach gave Sky News a simple mobile workflow for live streaming, editing, and uploading video from the field. With the setup, Hadfield was able to broadcast remotely in critical situations, including being first on scene at the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 702 incident and covering the Clandon Park House fire. The result was faster live reporting, more candid interviews, and the ability to deliver broadcasts from locations where traditional crews were not yet available.
