Saffo, o cão e a Internet das Coisas

O cão de Saffo e a Internet das Coisas: a próxima fase é a “machine media”. Em 15 a 20 anos, menos de 1% de todo o conteúdo criado e consumido na Internet será criado ou consumido por pessoas. Serão máquinas a “falarem” com outras máquinas. E os sensores vão desempenhar um grande papel nisso.

Contas jornalísticas

AP counted railroad ties, examined video to figure out Spanish train’s speed: the estimates “kind of disprove the old adage that a journalist can’t do math.”

Jornalismo de JavaScript

Arguing for a new genre: “JavaScript journalism”: the idea that just as it took some time for photojournalism to be respected as a distinct field, it’s now proper to define JavaScript journalism as its own thing, a field ready to stand alongside the other prefixes journalists attach to their job titles.

Encourage newsroom staff to learn on their own.

Sensores humanos na Internet das coisas

How you and I could become nodes in the internet of thing: A group of French researchers believe that the sensors and transmitters we wear will route and relay data, not just collect it. We won’t just be connected to the network. We’ll be the network.

Sensores na natureza

How an Army of Sensors Helps Us Track Tsunamis and Score Parking Spots: The rumble of volcanic magma, the action of ocean waves, the reverberations of a concussion. Connected sensors are watching—and translating everything into data.

Is sensor journalism feasible, or even ethical?

Columbia’s Tow Center hopes to find out: Journalists and organizations now have the ability to use sensors to collect their own real-time data and report on it. The practice raises both practical and ethical questions

Mapa de gangues

When the Toledo Police Department refused to release a gang map that showed which gangs claimed which neighborhoods in the small city 60 miles southwest of Detroit, crime reporter Taylor Dungjen decided to create her own.

O mundo AS ("after sensors")

Technology like sensors may make us more efficient — but there’s a price to pay: The proliferation of cheap sensors has made dynamic pricing—whereby the cost can be adjusted in real-time without intervention by the human operator—a tempting option. And while some sensors try to work out environmental factors like the temperature outside, others could concentrate on learning more about the buyers themselves: Are they young? Are they dressed fancy? Are they on Facebook?

Analítica inteligente

Why the New York Times has set up a newsroom analytics team: The team was set up by Aron Pilhofer, who already runs the interactive news team, social media team and communities team, to introduce editorial-focused analysis of data

Sensores óticos vão detetar incêndios a partir do verão

Segundo o Diário de Notícias, "o Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês (PNPG) vai receber a partir deste verão um sistema de vigilância através de sensores óticos que distinguem fumo orgânico de fogos florestais a 15 quilómetros de distância.

A implementação deste sistema, que segundo a Proteção Civil tem a "capacidade única" de reconhecer fumo orgânico através de uma análise química da atmosfera, tinha sido anunciada para o verão de 2012 mas só agora será concretizada.

O projeto consiste em 13 câmaras com sensores distribuídas pela área do parque que, admitiu hoje à Lusa fonte oficial da Autoridade Nacional de Proteção Civil (ANPC), poderá entrar em funcionamento até ao início da fase Charlie de incêndios, a 1 de julho".

Jornalismo de dados e de sensores

A ideia e a imagem vieram daqui: How sensor journalism can help us create data, improve our storytelling: Data journalism, meet sensor journalism. You two should talk. What’s sensor journalism? I’ll get to that. But first, let me tell you a story about bugs — and a pair of gadgets that sat for months in a box under John Keefe’s bed.
