We at Mobile Magazine strive to provide the latest news relating to the mobile technology industry. Our very own YouTube channel showcases the next generation of communication technology, as well as sharing interviews and engaging clips from mobile and tech events.
It is no secret that YouTube and alternative sites are growing in popularity for a source of information, as well as entertainment. Last year, British broadcasting regulator Ofcom reported that social media is starting to overtake traditional channels for news, especially among teenagers.
