Use it for online/mobile journalism3

“The more you use Evernote, the more you rely on it.” It can be a double-edged sword.

Evernote is an excellent tool for managing notes, documents or even the information library. It helps journalists to be more efficient and more organized.

However, people have the tendency to store things, but leave things there without reviewing. One thing for users to keep in mind is that do not let the convenience provided by Evernote become an excuse for just throwing things into the folders without reviewing them again.

The functions of a free account provided by Evernote is fairly limited.

The functions associated with free accounts provided by Evernote is fairly limited. Thus, for online/mobile journalists, a paid premium account would be more suitable.

It allows extra functions such as: offline access to the history of notes, scanning and digitizing business cards, annotating PDFs and searching text in PDFs.
