  • The Future of Investigative Journalism: Global, Networked and Collaborative
    The Future of Investigative Journalism: Global, Networked and Collaborative Ellen Hume and Susan Abbott March 2017 Note: This report is extracted from our recent evaluation of the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) for the Adessium Foundation. Ellen Hume would like to thank especially David Kaplan, Susan Abbott, Anya Schiffrin, Ethan Zuckerman, James Hamilton, Tom Rosenstiel, Bruce Shapiro, Marina Guevara Walker and Brant Houston for their insights. 2 1. Overview: The Investigative Media Landscape The internet and DIY communication tools have weakened the commercial mainstream media, and authoritarian political actors in many once-promising democratic regions are compromising public media independence. Fewer journalists were murdered in 2016 than the previous year, but the number of attacks on journalists around the world is “unprecedented,” according to the Index on Censorship.1 Even the United States, once considered the gold standard for press freedom, has a president who maligns the mainstream news media as “enemies of the people.” An unexpectedly bright spot in this media landscape is the growth of local and cross-border investigative journalism, including the emergence of scores of local nonprofit investigative journalism organizations, often populated by veterans seeking honest work after their old organizations have imploded or been captured by political partisans. These journalism “special forces,” who struggle to maintain their independence, are working in dangerous environments, with few stable resources to support them. Despite the dangers and uncertainties, it is an exciting time to be an investigative journalist, thanks to new collaborations and digital tools. These nonprofits are inventing a potent form of massive, cross-border investigative reporting, supported by philanthropy.

Universidad de Sevilla / University of Seville, Spain. [email protected] Abstract Introduction. Approximately 30 relevant international news media outlets already use artificial intelligence to generate automated journalism. The news agencies Associated Press and Reuters and The Washington Post stand out as pioneers in this field. Hypothesis and objectives. Bots and algorithms are increasingly used in sport coverage to take advantage of the large volumes of structured data and the cyclic pattern of sports competitions. The use of this technology is compatible with human editorial intervention. Methods. The study is based on the case study of the automated storytelling bot developed by The Washington Post to cover the 2016 and 2018 Olympics on Twitter. Results. The automated storytelling bot helps to streamline the coverage of the mega sporting events in real time: events schedule, results, medal tallies, reminders, etc. Conclusion. Artificial intelligence is effective in the coverage of sporting events and complements the work of reporters, as it frees them to focus on more creative activities.

  • Data Journalism Practices Globally: Skills, Education, Opportunities, and Values
    Article Data Journalism Practices Globally: Skills, Education, Opportunities, and Values Bahareh R. Heravi 1,* and Mirko Lorenz 2 1 School of Information and Communication Studies, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland 2 Datawrapper, 10437 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 September 2020; Accepted: 30 September 2020; Published: 22 October 2020 Abstract: Despite the growing interest in data journalism in newsrooms and its more recent emergence as an academic discipline, there is a need for systematic research on the state-of-the-art and current data journalism-related practices in newsrooms. The Global Data Journalism survey was an attempt to address this gap by studying the data journalism practices in newsrooms across the world. This study provides a descriptive view of the results of this study and discusses the findings on several aspects of data journalism practice, characteristics of data journalists and data teams, and their skills and educational requirements. We further provide insight into the values associated with journalistic work and analyse the ways in which the community believes data journalism has improved or undermined these values. Keywords: data journalism; data-driven journalism; ddj; journalism; computational journalism; newsroom innovation 1. Introduction Data journalism, also known as data-driven journalism, is an emerging discipline that brings together knowledge from several disciplines, including journalism, social sciences, information science, data and computer sciences, data analytics, information design, and storytelling. Various definitions have been provided for data journalism in recent years. Berret and Phillips (2016, p. 15) define data journalism as a “field [that] encompasses a suite of practices for collecting, analyzing, visualizing, and publishing data for journalistic purposes”.

  • Digital News and Innovation: the Next Frontier
    Digital News and Innovation: The Next Frontier Key issues discussion paper Prepared by the Lisbon Council for the High-Level Roundtable on Media and Publishers Online: United in Diversity The world of news, news gathering and news delivery is changing. More than people realise, this is a golden age of journalism – with more citizens accessing more articles written by more people from more perspectives than ever before. On the other hand, it’s a difficult moment for traditionally- structured newsrooms and publishers. Some global players, like Nikkei (owner of the Financial Times) and Hubert Burda Media In 2014, newspapers generated (owner of Focus and Bunte), have responded ambitiously to change, launching innovative an estimated in initiatives in the news distribution field and €160 billion moving their content footprint firmly into the circulation and advertising revenue digital world. But for others, the economics of the digital age have meant painful cutbacks, as the cost of gathering news is challenged by 1) the shrinking economics of digitally-distributed news (particularly for niche players that don’t have the global reach of the Financial Times or Focus), 2) the arrival of the citizen journalist (who creates as well as consumes content, and is omnipresent where news might or might not be made thanks to the ubiquity of smartphones), and 3) the glut of readily available quality news, much of it free, and all of it available with a simple click on a device you probably carry in your pocket or purse.
