GIS is becoming an integral way to convey the context and meaning of
the news.
GIS Provides:
 Unbiased reporting – Display patterns
and trends with clear infographics.
 Use geospatial analysis to investigate
stories. Quickly explore demographic
data to provide human context to other
data.
 Localized news – Make the news
personal by reporting on information
from a neighborhood level.
