感測器新聞是一種新的數據新聞形式，記者可以從中獲得第一手的資料， 常被使用在環境調查報導上，也常獲得各類新聞獎，但從媒體創新的角度來看， 感測器用於新聞卻不普及。本研究以行動者網絡的角度，分析台灣四個感測器 新聞作品幕後媒體內部創業者的經驗後，發現組織的預算與自主權、徵召與動 員科學家的能力、轉譯數據及科學語言的技術，才是感測器新聞最重要的成功 因素，感測器僅是網絡中次要的行動者，並且受到許多行動者限制。

The move to a sensor-journalism presents a range of challenges for techniques, journalistic roles, and boundaries. When describing media innovation, researchers often adopted technological determinism and innovation diffusion theory in the past. However, in recent research, Actor-Network-Theory and Boundary-work emphasize the more complex relationship in the newsroom. This paper examines the introduction of the sensor in investigative reporting in Taiwan. First, the newsrooms decided to use the sensor after deciding on the topic, and the use of the sensor was affected by various factors. Then, scientists are important actors in sensor journalism, responsible for "translating" the results, while the sensors also "displace" reporters and scientists across each other's boundaries. Finally, at the organizational level, the structure and culture of a newsroom are the keys to introducing technology, not the capabilities of journalists or programmers.
