Sensor Journalism Workshop at The Tow Center

On the 1st and 2nd of June, Columbia University hosted a community of journalists, hackers, makers, academics and researchers to explore sensor journalism. There were two goals for the workshop: We wanted participants to come away with more knowledge and a bigger network, and we asked people to produce or table ideas for sensor journalism projects that the Tow Center can collaborate on, and fund over the next twelve months. The Tow Center for Digital Journalism, established in early 2010, provides journalists with the skills and knowledge to lead the future of digital journalism and serves as a research and development center for the profession as a whole. Operating as an institute within Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, the Tow Center is poised to take advantage of a unique combination of factors to foster the development of digital journalism. Its New York location affords access to cutting-edge technologists, a strong culture of journalism and multiple journalism and communication schools, with outstanding universities attached to them. The Tow Center is where technology and journalism meet, and where education and practice meet.
