GET SUPPORT TO DEVELOP IoT SENSING PROJECT FOR JOURNALISTS
Sat, February 11, 2017 | 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM PST | SDSU
Developed for journalists, designers, technologists and anyone
interested in how to use sensors for community engagement, this
TechRaking will explore how this nascent stage of the Internet of
Things, made up of low-cost sensors and hardware to collect original
data, brings unique opportunities and challenges to the newsroom.
Over the course of the day, you’ll hear from industry experts who have
created successful sensor projects and stories, learn what is (and what
isn’t) possible in implementing sensor technology and what resources are
available for newsrooms putting sensor journalism into practice.
Attendees will also have a chance to hack a solution to a presented
challenge focused on empowering journalists to incorporate sensor tools
and techniques into their newsgathering workflows. The winning concept
will receive resources post-event to see their idea through to fruition.
An event of The Center for Investigative Reporting and the School of Journalism and Media Studies at San Diego State University
