TenderVoice / TenderNoise A two-faceted web-based community journalism and acoustic ecology project
نویسندگان
چکیده
TenderVoice/TenderNoise (TVTN) creates a platform to capture and communicate the complex dynamics of urban systems using acoustic data. It explores dualities in data sources, sensors, filters, audience and display, contrasting qualitative and personal attributes of the human voice with quantitative neighborhood decibel levels. TVTN also addresses the complementary relationship that exists between historical and real-time data. This project asserts that the interpretation of the immense data field that is our urban environment should incorporate such dualities. Future phases of this project entail expansion of the real-time data component, incorporation of Web 2.0 features, and a physical installation. Keywords—acoustic ecology; noise; urban informatics; data visualization; journalism; sound; mapping; ethnography; health

متن کاملJournalism 2.0: Exploring the Impact of Mobile and Social Media on Journalism Education
According to Hirst (2011) Journalism must change to survive in response to Web 2.0, however in “The Cult Of The Amateur” Keen (2007) argues that Web 2.0 (social media) is f***** (Ha, 2009), as it undermines and decimates the ranks of our professional literary ‘gatekeepers’.
