Journalists today are faced with an overwhelming abundance of data – from large collections of leaked documents, to public databases about lobbying or government spending, to ‘big data’ from social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. To stay relevant to society journalists are learning to process this data and separate signal from noise in order to provide valuable insights to their readers. This talk will address questions like: What is the potential of data journalism? Why is it relevant to society? And how can you get started?

What are the pathways for spreading disinformation on social media platforms? This article addresses this question by collecting, categorising, and situating an extensive body of research on how application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by social media platforms facilitate the spread of disinformation. We first examine the landscape of official social media APIs, then perform quantitative research on the open-source code repositories GitHub and GitLab to understand the usage patterns of these APIs. By inspecting the code repositories, we classify developers' usage of the APIs as official and unofficial, and further develop a four-stage framework characterising pathways for spreading disinformation on social media platforms. We further highlight how the stages in the framework were activated during the 2016 US Presidential Elections, before providing policy recommendations for issues relating to access to APIs, algorithmic content, advertisements, and suggest rapid response to coordinate campaigns, development of collaborative, and participatory approaches as well as government stewardship in the regulation of social media platforms.

Chung-Jui LAI - Polarization of Political Opinion by News MediaREVULN
In 2016 US election, social media played a vital role in shaping public opinions as expressed by the news media that have created the phenomenon of polarization in the United States. Because social media gave people the ability to follow, share, post, comment below everything, the phenomenon of political opinions being spread easily and quickly on social media by the news agencies is bringing out a significantly polarized populace.
Consequently, it’s very important to understand the language differences on Twitter and figure out how propaganda spread by different political parties that influence or perhaps mislead public opinion. This talk will introduce the relationship among the social media, public opinion, and news media, then suggests the method to collect the tweets from Twitter and conduct sentimental and logistic regression analysis on them. Furthermore, this talk points out the special aspect on the relationship between the polarization and the topic of this conference (fake news, disinformation and propaganda).

From Flickr to Snapchat: The challenge of analysing images on social media. Presentation part of the 'Challenges/Opportunities of Using Social Media for Social Science Research' panel. 9th of July 2014
Social media has emerged as a powerful communication channel to promote actions and raise social awareness. Initiatives through social media are being driven by NGOs to increase the scope and effectiveness of their campaigns. In this paper, we describe the DaTactic2 campaign, which is both an offline and online initiative supported by Oxfam Intermón devised to gather activists and NGOs practitioners and create awareness on the importance of the 2014 European Parliament election. We provide details regarding the background of the campaign, as well as the objectives, the strategies that have been implemented and an empirical evaluation of its performance through an analysis of the impact on Twitter. Our findings show the effectiveness of bringing together relevant actors in an offline event and the high value of creating multimedia content in order to increase the scope and virality of the campaign.

In this contribution, we develop an accurate and effective event detection method to detect events from a
Twitter stream, which uses visual and textual information to improve the performance of the mining
process. The method monitors a Twitter stream to pick up tweets having texts and images and stores them
into a database. This is followed by applying a mining algorithm to detect an event. The procedure starts
with detecting events based on text only by using the feature of the bag-of-words which is calculated using
the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) method. Then it detects the event based on image
only by using visual features including histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) descriptors, grey-level cooccurrence
matrix (GLCM), and color histogram. K nearest neighbours (Knn) classification is used in the
detection. The final decision of the event detection is made based on the reliabilities of text only detection
and image only detection. The experiment result showed that the proposed method achieved high accuracy
of 0.94, comparing with 0.89 with texts only, and 0.86 with images only.
To Thread or Not to Thread: The Impact of Conversation Threading on Online Di...Pablo Aragón
Online discussion is essential for the communication and collaboration of online communities. The reciprocal exchange of messages between users that characterizes online discussion can be represented in many different ways. While some platforms display messages chronologically using a simple linear interface, others use a hierarchical (threaded) interface to represent more explicitly the structure of the discussion. Although the type of representation has been shown to affect communication, to the best of our knowledge, the impact of using either one or the other has not yet been investigated in a large and mature online community.
In this work we analyze Menéame, a popular Spanish social news platform which recently transitioned from a linear to a hierarchical interface, becoming an ideal research opportunity for this purpose. Using interrupted time series analysis and regression discontinuity design, we observe an abrupt and significant increase in social reciprocity after the adoption of a threaded interface. We furthermore extend state-ofthe-art generative models of discussion threads by including reciprocity, a fundamental feature to explain better the structure of the discussions, both before and after the change in the interface.

Dataset paper presented at ICWSM-18:
The Internet has become a fundamental resource for activism as it facilitates political mobilization at a global scale. Petition platforms are a clear example of how thousands of people around the world can contribute to social change. Avaaz.org, with a presence in over 200 countries, is one of the most popular of this type. However, little research has focused on this platform, probably due to a lack of available data.
In this work we retrieved more than 350K petitions, standardized their field values, and added new information using language detection and named-entity recognition. To motivate future research with this unique repository of global protest, we present a first exploration of the dataset. In particular, we examine how social media campaigning is related to the success of petitions, as well as some geographic and linguistic findings about the worldwide community of Avaaz.org. We conclude with example research questions that could be addressed with our dataset.

International Press Institute (IPI) Senior Press Freedom Adviser Steven M. Ellis will present information related to the IPI’s current project “Strengthening Journalists’ Rights, Protections and Skills: Understanding Defamation Laws versus Press Freedom”. The project seeks to examine the effects that defamation, insult and blasphemy laws in the 28 EU member countries and five candidate countries have on the practices of journalism and the exercise of press freedom.
IPI will soon be issuing a study detailing defamation law in EU member and candidate states, examining the extent to which these laws comport with international standards and offering recommendations for potential changes. Ellis will explain to participants the purpose, history and methodology behind the forthcoming study and share details regarding planned follow-up workshops and trainings. Using specific examples from relevant countries, Ellis will also detail potential pitfalls that journalists face under national criminal and civil laws on defamation, insult and blasphemy. Participants will be given examples of types of conduct that may lead to liability, potential defences to liability, potential consequences that a finding of civil or criminal liability may carry and examples of recent legal developments. Finally, he will provide a broad overview of relevant international free expression standards in order to foster awareness among journalists of their rights in cases where national laws have not yet caught up to those standards.

The EUI seminar focus on the legal framework in Europe regarding whistle-blowing, leaking confidential information, “illegal” newsgathering and protection of journalistic sources. In its Recommendation 1916 (2010) on the protection of whistle-blowers, on 29 April 2010, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, referring to its Resolution 1729 (2010) on the protection of whistle-blowers, has stressed the importance of whistle-blowing as a tool to increase accountability and strengthen the fight against corruption and mismanagement.

This session will look at challenges related to free speech online. We will address restrictions to freedom of expression from technological challenges (filters, surveillance techniques, blocking access to websites) to the introduction of new laws that curb digital freedom. We will also cover the increasing trend of takedown requests, the phenomenon of privatisation of censorship as well as threats, intimidation and violence against citizen journalists and bloggers. Through detailed case studies, participants will have the opportunity to explore the various implications of online censorship for media freedom. Case studies will include examples from countries such as Azerbaijan, Turkey, Belarus, India and Brazil.

El Estudio Data Journalism in 2017 aborda cómo los periodistas usan los datos para contar historias.
El análisis ofrece una visión general del estado del periodismo de datos en 2017 y destaca los retos clave para que el campo avance.
Algunas conclusiones:
- El 42% de los periodistas emplean los datos para contar historias de manera regular (dos veces o más por semana).
- El 51% de los medios de comunicación en Estados Unidos y Europa tienen en las redacciones al menos un periodista especializadp a los datos (periodista de datos). Este porcentaje se eleva al 60% para los medios digitales.
- El 33% de los periodistas usan datos para historias políticas, seguidos por 28% para finanzas y economía y 25% por historias enmarcadas en el periodismo de investigación.
This was a catch-all "market analysis" presentation I put together in October 2008, based in part on some thinking of Jeff Jarvis regarding an emerging "press sphere," among other topics addressed here.

Understanding and Implementing Innovation in News Media and JournalismDamian Radcliffe
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a media company in possession of a good fortune (an audience, brand recognition and decent revenues), must (still) be in want of innovation.
The pace of change in our industry means that even the biggest, most successful, companies need to continually innovate, refresh and reinvent what they do and how they do it. Those who don’t risk being left behind, overtaken by digital upstarts, or blown away by more established players with deeper pockets and a longer transformational runway.
I asked 10 experts — leading media practitioners, researchers and scholars around the world — for their insights around what constitutes innovation, the barriers to implementing it, and how to overcome these roadblocks.
--
This report is based on a series of in-depth email interviews with ten leading media practitioners, researchers and scholars around the world.
It would not have been possible without the thoughtful and insightful contributions provided by Federica Cherubini, Professor Lucy Kueng, Joon-Nie Lau, Nic Newman, Rishad Patel, Professor Devadas Rajaram, Thomas Seymat, Professor Jane Singer, Patricia Torres-Burd and Dr. Gillian Youngs.
The report was produced as part of the Journalism Breakthroughs project, The Center for Media, Data and Society (CMDS); a research center for the study of media, communication, and information policy and its impact on society and practice.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

6. “Most
of
what
we
do
is
this
kind
of
very
newsy,
quick
pieces
of
data
journalism,
that
are
based
around
stories
that
just
happen
to
be
in
the

that
day.
Every
news
story
has
some
data
behind
it
and
we’re
here
to
make
that
accessible
and

it.”

Why

ma8er?
12. 1.
New

producYon,
new
forms
of
presentaYon

disseminaYon
of

Why
does
it
ma8er?
13. "Nate
Silver
says
this
is
a
73.6
percent
chance
that
the
president
is
going
to
win?
Nobody
in
that
campaign
thinks
they
have
a
73
percent
chance
—
they
think
they
have
a
50.1
percent
chance
of
winning.
And
you
talk
to
the
Romney
people,
it’s
the
same
thing.
.
.
.
Anybody
that
thinks
that
this
race
is
anything
but
a
toss-‐up
right
now
is
such
an
ideologue,
they
should
be
kept
away
from
typewriters,
computers,
laptops
and
microphones
for
the
next
10
days,
because
they're
jokes."

15. New
forms
of
knowledge
“Part
of
what
we’ve
been
trained,
as
a
society,
to
expect
out
of
the
Big
Deal
JournalisYc
Story
is
something
“new,”
something
we
didn’t
know
before.
Nixon
was
a
crook!
Osama
Bin
Laden
was
found
by
the
CIA
and
then
allowed
to
escape!
But
in
these
recent
stories,
it’s
not
the
presence
of
something
new,
but
the
ability
to
tease
a
paAern
out
of
a
lot
of
liAle
things
we
already
know
that’s
the
big
deal.
It’s
not
the
newsness
of
failure;
.
.
.
it’s
the
weight
of
failure.”

Anderson,
