In this talk is offer three challenges for a critical data journalism practice drawing on the insights and examples from The Data Journalism Handbook: Towards a Critical Data Practice: https://www.aup.nl/en/book/9789462989511/the-data-journalism-handbook. The talk is a keynote given at the Digital Methods Initiative Summer School at the University of Amsterdam on 5 July 2021.
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?
Journalism, data and storytelling: navigating the battlefieldPaul Bradshaw
Data journalism promises to offer a more factual, objective picture of the world — but to what extent can we fulfil that promise? How can storytelling techniques be useful in engaging audiences with factual data — and what risks do they hold? Drawing on a decade’s experiences as a data journalist, academic and author, Paul Bradshaw will discuss the decisions that data journalists take when telling stories with data, and how an awareness of narrative techniques and critical issues in the field can create better journalism.

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.
A number of research papers have documented the rapid success and growth of minority or ethnic media across a number of areas throughout the world, being most prominent in Western Europe and North America. This trend has been attributed by scholars with the tendency of expressing the increased patterns of migration across the globe (Bloomsbury 1992). A crucial awareness about an extremely participatory culture of global media across multi- cultural societies has been established as a significant tool for explaining the impact and success of minority or ethnic media, along with embracing the changing methods by which there is use of media by people (Sanders 2009). Being a profession extremely centralized to the sense of self across the society, there lies a crucial significance for understanding the impacts of changing conditions on labour, cultures of professionalism, and the technologies in appropriation. These factors form the crucial attribute of work within the profession of journalism. It has been argued by a number of researchers that the continuously converging technologies undermine the basic standards and skills of journalism, while the so- called multiple tasking is fostered within newsrooms, which is seen as the outcome of economy based pressures cutting back over resources while the work loads are increased (Curran et al. 2012).
In the current society where development has been taking place at a fast pace, a large number of people turn to their electronic devices that range from Social Media to predictions of weather (Curran 2010). As websites of social networking has been exploding and smart phones have been development, technology has quickly started to become the key way in order to receive information. The dependence on new technology for information have been providing huge benefits such as instant notification of emails and news allowing member of the society for being aware about what events are taking place across the globe in only a fraction of seconds.

NanotechnologyNanotechnology has a wide scope of applications. .docxrosemarybdodson23141
Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology has a wide scope of applications. Consequently, the societal and economic promise is equally high. The competition for leadership in this field has brought about several public policy issues. The United States, for example, is among the global leading investors in nanotechnology. In 2000, the US government started the first nanotechnology program nationally. Billions of money have been invested in the technology, currently accruing to US $ 20.9 billion, including 2015 financial year (Sargent Jr., 2014). Nanotechnology impacts our lives today, socially, economically, ethically, environmentally, and in many more ways.
In 2000, the Human Genome Task was launched, as a precursor to later applications of nanotechnology. There were civil debates with respect to the Human Genome Task that ethical and sociological reflections should accompany, rather than take after technological investigation and development. Engineers and policy makers have learned from such past, eminently from consumer disasters in use of genetic modifications, and how it affects people. Therefore, they invite the cultural and social sciences that can help analyze and mediate achievable conflicts. That is by all accounts an extraordinary chance for social and cultural scientists to activate partnership designs with engineers, such that both parties can massively pick up from one another, for the overall benefit with the society, provided that both groups learn from each other and respect their unique perspectives, goals, and problem approaches.
Nanotechnology research is indispensable, with the current stage of nanotechnology use. According to Schummer, (2014), Interdisciplinary research in nanotechnology guarantees extraordinary results. Nanotechnology is still not fully optimized. At the present state, cultural and social scientists hope to partner with people and engineers, to be effective on "societal along with ethical implications regarding nanotechnology". They are confronted with two problems which can be caused by nanotechnology's immaturity.
Nanotechnology's immaturity carries a conceptual and a social aspect. Conceptually, the lack regarding meaningful definitions of nanotechnology has led to the situation that in most parts, the science along with engineering disciplines, analysts relabeled their cutting-edge to do the job "nano", without having much new in keeping with, and without exhibiting any remarkable penetration of interdisciplinary research.
Nanotechnology’s Immaturity and Media Influence
In the ordinary circumstances of media buildup, cultural and social scientists could experience difficulties in choosing what studies they should consider "nano", such that their decisions may depend preferably on media scope and experienced guarantees, than around the particularities of a specific research project.
The prevailing articulation connected with nanotechnology in visionary terms, would be the social aspect connected with nanot.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
