• Bild reporter Paul Ronzheimer travelled across Europe live-streaming interviews: ‘For the refugee story, the personalisation is very important’
• One journalist for German newspaper Bild has found a way to use his smartphone to help those people tell their stories direct to readers. 
• he had 1,500 and after the video live broadcast he had 33,000.
• The video 90,000 views including the replays 
• He interviewed several people and they talked about their experience.
• Periscope’s features include the ability for viewers to comment during the broadcasts, which in this case often included questions that the refugees could answer live and unmediated.

This story is a great example of independent citizen journalism as the reported works for BILD the newspaper company in Germany however developed a segment on a social networking app called periscope.So he was periscoping everything at the base of the refugees trying to get away form the Syrian crisis.The app allows you to video where you at and as many people as they want are allowed to watch it on their smartphone if they have the app too.They can also comment at the same time and so it allows the report to ask the refugees the question from the people at home.Whether they are from america or the uk.
