CNN, National Geographic, Wallpaper and Lonely Planet armed with N82 put a twist on journalism
It seems that the theme these days is geotagging and GPS. By now most of you are familiar with the Nseries Urbanista Diaries, well this time Nokia has teamed up with CNN, National Geographic , Wallpaper and Lonely planet and hooked them up with the superb N82 + Sports Tracker combo. In similar fashion to the Urbanista Diaries you can follow the journalists, anchors and even an Anthropologist and a Biochemist as they document the experience.
In the case of National Geographic, interestingly enough you follow Anthropologist Dr. Renee Friedman in Egypt and Biochemist Valerie Clark as they provide a photographic document of their studies. You can also follow Primatologist Catherine Workman in Vietnam (Coming soon). With CNN you follow news anchor Richard Quest as he reports on various stories from around the globe. You can also follow CNN’s Dale Fountain, driver of CNN’s High-tech mobile studio “The Election Express” as he follows the race for the White House throughout the US.(Coming Soon). If your more into fashion you might interested in Wallpaper’s coverage at various Fashion Week events as they travel to London, Paris and Milan to show you what’s hot on the catwalk and various after show parties. And lastly, in the case of Lonely Planet you follow their journalists as they travel the globe as they discover the best places to visit.

It varies from blog to blog. I know that with typepad you have to publish a typelist, but not sure how it goes with blogger.com
cheers,
Devin
