Peering at the world through Google Glass, Robert Hernandez glimpsed the future of journalism. Soon after becoming one of the first people in the world to get Glass (the most recognizable device in the fast-emerging field of wearable technology), the professor of journalism at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism began organizing meetups and “nerding out” with like-minded digital explorers. They were intrigued by the device’s potential to change the creation, delivery and consumption of news. Hernandez’s interactive noodling led to the creation of “Journalism 499: Glass Journalism.” In the fall, he will lead a diverse group of students (Android developers, budding journalists, students in the cinematic arts and other disciplines) in what essentially will be a 15-week hackathon. “We’re not just going to talk about something; we’re going to build something,” he said.
