Résumé
"The idea of using sensors for journalism is not new, as the practice of doing so has existed for years. However, the application by which they can be im- plemented for news reporting in a variety of ways at varying costs (from inexpensive to expensive) has created a new realm for the profession. This article identifies the forms in which sensor journalism is currently being practiced and how it may be used in the profession moving forward. A case study of a sensor journalism project is also presented for context. As sensor journalism evolves, it’s important to note the pitfalls that one must take into account ranging from sensor manufacturer challenges to user error with the sensor. The implications of this kind of work are discussed in terms of the academy and the profession."
