A mojo is a “mobile journalist” who works out of a car, using laptop computers, digital cameras and audio recorders to file intensely local, Web-first news reports. Notably, Gannett Co. has pushed the mojo concept at its Fort Myers News-Press, where the term apparently came into use. Mojos there contribute continously to microsites that are devoted to coverage of suburban communities.
