- Abstract
Locative media enables us to use smartphones to gain a better understanding of places around us. Most of this information is more historical than newsworthy. However, locative media allows news organizations to shape news in an innovative and engaging way. This study discusses how the "culture of curiosities" shaped the birth of news in 16th and 17th century, and proceeds to use this culture to explain the great potential of locative information for a new generation of information consumers. In order to do so, this paper analyzes two representative location-based applications: Foursquare and Fieldtrip.
