    THE DATA JOURNALISM HANDBOOK Towards a Critical Data Practice Edited by Liliana Bounegru and Jonathan Gray 1 Bounegru & Gray (eds.) The Data Journalism Handbook “This is a stellar collection that spans applied and scholarly perspectives on practices of data journalism, rich with insights into the work of making data tell stories.” − Kate Crawford, New York University + Microsoft Research New York; author of Atlas of AI “Researchers sometimes suffer from what I call journalist-envy. Journalists, after all, write well, meet deadlines, and don’t take decades to complete their research. But the journalistic landscape has changed in ways that scholars should heed. A new, dynamic field—data journalism—is flourishing, one that makes the boundaries between our fields less rigid and more interesting. This exciting new volume interrogates this important shift, offering journalists and researchers alike an engaging, critical introduction to this field. Spanning the globe, with an impressive variety of data and purposes, the essays demonstrate the promise and limits of this form of journalism, one that yields new investigative strategies, one that warrants analysis. Perhaps new forms of collaboration will also emerge, and envy can give way to more creative relations.” − Wendy Espeland, Northwestern University; co-author of Engines of Anxiety: Academic Rankings, Reputation, and Accountability “It is now established that data is entangled with politics and embedded in history and society.

  • Affecting Factors in Information Security Policy Compliance: Combine Organisational Factors and User Habits
    Affecting Factors in Information Security Policy Compliance: Combine Organisational Factors and User Habits Angraini1,4, Rose Alinda Alias2 and Okfalisa3 1School of Computing, Faculty Engineering, University Technology Malaysia, 81310 Johor, Malaysia 2Department of Information System, Azman Hashim International Business School, University Technology Malaysia,81310 Johor Malaysia 3Department of Informatics Engineering, Faculty Science and Technology, Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim, Pekanbaru, Riau 4Department of Information System, Faculty Science and Technology, Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Syarif Kasim, Pekanbaru, Riau [email protected] Abstract. Information security policy compliance is one concern of organisations to improve information security, including universities. Previous research has shown that factors that influence user compliance can come from user behaviour and from within the organisation. This study aims to explore the factors of organisation and user habits that affect user compliance with information security policies. The research model proposed used organisational commitment, organisational culture, reward, and habit variables—this research conducted with a case study of public universities in Indonesia by using an online survey. The results indicated that the factors derived from organisational commitment established a positive influence on the user’s respectful behaviour. The insignificant organisational culture and reward affected information security policies. User habits also influenced user behaviour in maintaining information security. Keywords: compliance, information security policy, organisation commitment, organisation culture, habit. 1 Introduction There has been a growth in research to devote more attention to information security due to a significant increase in threats and attacks on information security. Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that a business will fall victim to ransomware attacks every 14 seconds in 2019 and every 11 seconds in 2021 [1].

    Who We Are Past and Present Activities Projects 2017/2018 1 Reset-Dialogues on Civilizations is an international association founded in 2004 committed to research and publications on cross-cultural and inter- national relations, cultural and religious pluralism, advancements of human rights, evolution of democracy in different civilizational environments. These goals have been pursued and will be achieved by: Generating Scientific Insights on Cultural Pluralism; Analyzing The Root Causes of Cultural, Religious and Ethnic Conflicts; Connecting Different Cultural Viewpoints in Scholarly Research; Promoting Culture of Pluralism, Toleration, Human Rights. Founded after 9/11– in the mid of the global debate over the ‘clash of civil- izations’ – by a group of scholars with different cultural and religious back- grounds, Reset DOC promoted knowledge and understanding among differ- ent cultures through research, seminars and publications, in social sciences and humanities. Following these ideas, in March 2006, Reset DOC opened its first year of activ- ities with an international conference: “Beyond Orientalism and Occidentalism” held in Cairo; and in 2008 and 2009, in Doha, invited intellectuals and politi- cians to discuss about “Global Media between Dialogue and Clash” (2008), and “East and West: Women’s perception through Media’s eyes” (2009). (See below a summary of our past activities) Reset DOC also publishes an online journal, resetdoc.org, specialized in issues related to cross-cultural relations and dialogue. On this online magazine the association publishes essays, analysis, conference proceed- ings, video interviews, with top international thinkers.

  • Tunisia, a Nascent Democracy Under Siege
    About the European Foundation for Democracy The European Foundation for Democracy is a Brussels-based policy institute dedicated to upholding Europe’s fundamental values of freedom and equality, re- gardless of gender, ethnicity or religion. Today these principles are being challenged by a number of factors, among them rapid social change as a result of high levels of immigration from cultures with dif- ferent customs, a rise in intolerance on all sides, an increasing sense of a conflict of civilisations and the growing influence of radical, extremist ideologies worldwide. We work with grassroots activists, media, policy experts and government officials throughout Europe to identify constructive approaches to addressing these chal- lenges. Our goal is to ensure that the universal values of the Enlightenment – politi- cal pluralism, individual liberty, government by democracy and religious tolerance– remain the core foundation of Europe’s prosperity and welfare, and the basis on which diverse cultures and opinions can interact peacefully. About the Counter Extremism Project The Counter Extremism Project is a not-for-profit, non-partisan, international policy organisation formed to address the threat from extremist ideology. It does so by pressuring financial support networks, countering the narrative of extremists and their online recruitment and advocating for effective laws, policies and regulations. CEP uses its research and analytical expertise to build a global movement against the threat to pluralism, peace and tolerance posed by extremism of all types. In the United States, CEP is based in New York City with a team in Washington, D.C. TUNISIA A NASCENT DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE September 2015 Valentina Colombo, Ph.D.
