Data and journalism: A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?Mirko Lorenz
Presentation from the International Journalism Festival 2015 in Perugia.
This panel was part of the 2015 School of Data, organized by the Open Knowledge Foundation and the European Journalism Center.
These slides were used as an introduction to a panel discussing the various ways on how to use data:
- for reporting
- to understand audiences and their needs
- to (potentially) create new services to fund journalism
Talk at MIT8, May 3, 2013:
Social media platforms have evolved from spaces for personal exchanges to environments for real-time news and information, influencing how media organisations respond to breaking news, how journalists go about their reporting and whose voices are heard. The media logic of emerging communications technologies, where knowledge, expertise and authority are networked and distributed, chafe with existing, hierarchical models of journalism. This presentation will discuss how social media are reconfiguring definitions of journalism and professional constructs of the journalist, as media professionals negotiate a hybrid news ecosystem that blurs the line between the public, the private and the corporate.
Focus on story, don't be seduced by sexy tools: How journalists can create gr...Mirko Lorenz
This is a presentation for journalists and anybody interested in why and how stories can have impact. This is all about on how to find the best form for a strong story.
This is not easy. There are so many options and new tools. The key message of this presentation is that the focus should be on creating the story.
Which calls for an understanding why some stories are strong and lasting, while many are not. Additionally one must understand how the creation process works, which is best done by example and practice (of course).
The original presentation was held as the TASC Storycamp for the finalists of the African Story Challgenge, in Marrakesh, on August 11, 2014.
