Where or Nowhere? Tracking Elusive Journalistic Guidelines for Ethical Use of Location Data
Locative data is data that identifies a person’s precise location in a specific moment in time, allowing for evidence-based interpretations of who was doing what, when and where. Such tracking already happens regularly as a part of ubiquitous smartphone use. In journalistic contexts, with relative ease, this data can provide detailed documentation about events – connecting people, actions, and settings – in unprecedented thoroughness and complexi…
Location Data: A Delphi Study of its Ethical Implications for the News Industry
Location data is used in many aspects of journalism today. For example, journalists can identify the number of COVID-19 cases by neighborhood, map those, and then share hot spots with their audiences. They can break down political allegiances, block by block, and predict elections. They can tag location data on reported events and filter those to provide a neighborhood-specific newsletter, and so on. But how is this location data acquired and att…
Audio description of gender: Self-description as an evocation of identity
Gender gets socially constructed in many visual ways, but people who are blind or who have low-vision want to know the gender of those around them, too, as well as other salient positionality details. Like with age, race, fashion, etc., a person’s appearance can provide a lot of information about them and their character. Audio description, as a form of audiovisual translation, is a way to make that appearance accessible to those who cannot see i…
This Is Not a Drill: Mobile Telephony, Information Verification, and Expressive Communication During Hawaii's False Missile Alert
On Saturday, 13 January 2018, residents of Hawaii received a chilling message through their smartphones. It read, in all caps, BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. The message was mistakenly sent, but many residents lived in a threatened state of mind for the 38 minutes it took before a retraction was made. This study is based on a survey of 418 people who experienced the alert, recollecting the…
Invisible Locative Media: Key Considerations at the Nexus of Place and Digital Journalism
Mobility and location-awareness are pervasive and foundational elements of contemporary communication systems, and a descriptive term to synthesize them, “locative media”, has gained widespread use throughout mobile media and communication research. That label of “locative media”, though, usually gets defined ad hoc and used in many different ways to express a variety of related ideas. Locative features of digital media increasingly have changed …
Bodystorming with Hawkins’s block: Toward a new methodology for mobile media design
Inspired by the intuitive prototyping method employed by Palm Pilot founder Jeff Hawkins, this formative field study recreates and reimagines his generative techniques as a new methodology that could be useful for mobile media designers. Viewed theoretically through an activity theory lens, this approach also integrates bodystorming ideals as a way to externalize and embody user perspectives about the potential of place-based media, in situ, usin…
