Geo-Journalism
Uma das tendências atuais do jornalismo na era digital é a vinculação de notícias à geo-localização. Postei algo sobre hyperlocal journalism recentemente. As aplicações para o uso jornalístico com mídias locativas (geo-journalism) têm crescido a exemplo do recente acordo entre o NYT e Google. Vejam no post do LOJOCONNECT.COM com algumas das últimas ações nesse campo:
“- Earlier this month, the New York Times and Google announced a new partnership that allows readers to track articles geographically using Google Earth. (If you want to see what’s going on in Paris, for example, a few clicks on a Google Earth map will show you the latest headlines coming out of the French capital.)
– When protesters attempted to disrupt the Olympic torch procession in San Francisco, the Sacramento Bee used Qik (technology that streams live footage from videophones to a Web-based flash player) to broadcast live videos of the scuffle.
– And, just the other night, as we waited for the results of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary to come in, we were treated to a high-tech presentation on CNN, featuring correspondent John King and a gigantic, touch-sensitive interactive map.”
