When I introduce myself to a stranger, I say "I'm studying about Data journalism", but everyone doesn't know about it. So I'm a bit embarrassed that how to expound this one. Therefor I made this keynote. This is an introduction of Data journalism. I explain "what is Data journalism" in English. In particular, I'd like my friends and strangers to check out this slide. Journalism not only for journalists, it's also yours. Thank you. 自己紹介をする時にデータジャーナリズムのことを言うと、だいたい"？"を相手側の頭に見ることができる。僕自身もうまく伝えられないことにドギマギするし、相手側にも理解されず、コミュニケーションをとる上での阻害要因を作ってしまっていた。 ってことで、今回そのスライドとスクリプトを作った。 これはある意味、僕の自己紹介みたいなものでもある。 尚且つ、特に僕の友人、知人、まだ僕を知らない人に知って貰いたい。 関わるわけじゃないけど、データジャーナリズムを知ることで、なにかの繋がりのひとつにしてほしいし、「あーこの人ってこんなことしてるのかぁ」ぐらいでも、頭の片隅に居させてもらえれば幸いだ。

Data Journalism?

responsibilities of citizens.
-Bill Kovach and Tom Rosentiel “The Elements
of Journalism”

3. History
In the past, journalists frequently used statistics
in their reports, but not techniques for handling
large amounts of data.
In 2010, WikiLeaks collaborated with major
global media organisations to release U.S. State
department diplomatic "cables" in redacted
format.
Many journalists began to realise the
importance of being able to handle enormous
amounts of open data.

4. Data Journalism
“Data can be the source of data
journalism, or it can be the tool with
which the story is told — or it can be
both” - Paul Bradshaw, The Data
Journalism Handbook
Journalism desperately needs new tools
to report content on the internet
Journalists need to know how to handle
numbers as well as words

8. Change in workflow and division of labour
Not only reporting the news but also quantifying
what it means to us
More interactive and revisable reporting
What is different about
data journalism?
But perhaps the most important thing is
that data journalism doesn’t deny the
previous style but builds upon its
strengths.

10. Data journalism
is not perfect

11. Future challenges
Need to learn new technical skills
Need to be able to teach these skills
to all in the workplace
But if you can teach these skills the
benefits can be significant (e.g. giving
local news have national impact)
Online competition (e.g. bloggers)
