The idea of media transforming socially and spatially is flowing around for the past decade already. In 2001 great GIS scientists M. Goodchild and D. Sui has published a short remark titled "
GIS as media?" on International Journal of GIS. Over-viewing the latest developments in GIS then, authors have felt the need for fresh conceptualizations
for what GIS actually is and will become in the near future. Observing growing relationship between GIS and society authors had proposed that new concept:
GIS as new media.
Some time before I was scribbling in my
post about media and geography, how journalists 'found' geography. But it was just a quote from Economist, not knowing about this concept existing between scientists. So, let's have look further.
