The document discusses reimagining data journalism through the lens of data infrastructures. It provides examples from digital methods research that investigate digital platforms and data creation. These include mapping right-wing groups in Europe using web analysis, examining counter-jihadist networks on Facebook, and analyzing climate change negotiations through transcripts and indicators. Examples from journalism that engage with data infrastructures include reverse engineering Netflix's film genres, mapping misinformation spread on Twitter, examining email targeting models, and making memory politics on social media visible. The document promotes accounting for socio-technical conditions of data and investigating how data infrastructures could be composed differently.
Paper given at the Conference of the Digital Methods Winter School, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, 14 January 2016, with Jonathan Gray and Carolin Gerlitz.

Keynote speech at the Digitale Praxen conference at Frankfurt UniversityINRIA - ENS Lyon
We will discuss four misunderstandings often connected to use of digital traces:
1) the use of a notion of digital traces that is both too narrow and too ambitious;
2) the alternation of oblivion and paranoia on the conditions of digital traces' production;
3) the tendency to confuse digital and automatic;
4) the hope that the digital traces are easily clamped by conventional methods.
We will try to show than when these misunderstandings are avoided, digital methods can renew the vision of social sciences and help them to overcome the classic divide between qualitative and quantitative methods.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Repurposing Digital Methods and
the Data Sprint for Data Journalism
8. 1. How could the data journalism
mainstream be reimagined?
9. Bounegru, L. “What Data Journalists Need to Do Differently.” Harvard Business Review.!
https://hbr.org/2014/05/what-data-journalists-need-to-do-differently/
10. –Bounegru, L. “What Data Journalists Need to Do Differently.” Harvard
Business Review, 2014
“…when journalists are building their stories exclusively
around existing data collected by a small number of major
institutions and companies, this may exacerbate the
tendency to amplify issues already considered a priority,
and to downplay those that have been relegated or which
aren’t on the radar screens of major institutions.”
11. –Frontex official cited in Le Monde Diplomatique, 31 March 2014
“Le travail de Frontex, c’est la lutte contre l’immigration
illégale, pas le sauvetage en mer, et ces gens-là sont morts,
ce ne sont plus des migrants.”
13. –Bounegru, L. “What Data Journalists Need to Do Differently.” Harvard
Business Review, 2014
“Data journalists should strive to go beyond established
sources to find or create their own data in order to bring
about fresh reflections and insights or to bring new issues to
the public’s attention.”
15. –Nicolas Kayser-Bril cited in Gray, J., Lämmerhirt, D. and Bounegru, L.
“Changing what counts: How can citizen and civil society data be used as
an advocacy tool to change official data collection?” (2016)
“The goal of the project changed as the investigation
progressed: we originally thought that we would structure
existing information in order to geolocate it … and then
realised that …the story was not about the data we had
but about the data we didn’t have.”
18. Gray, J., Gerlitz, C. and Bounegru, L. (forthcoming). “Towards a Literacy for Data Infrastructures”
19. – Gray, J., Gerlitz, C. and Bounegru, L. (forthcoming). “Towards a Literacy
for Data Infrastructures”
“Might conceptions of data literacy which focus on
increasing the effective use, uptake and transformation of
data not risk overlooking questions about how data is made
– and how it might be made differently?”
20. From data as a resource or raw material to be mined and to
extract value from …
21. …To accounting for the wider data infrastructures which
create the socio-technical conditions for the creation,
extraction and analysis of data.
22. Where can we draw inspiration
from to reimagine data journalism
as telling stories with or about data
infrastructures?
23. 2. Telling stories with data
infrastructures: Examples from
digital methods research
24. Situated at the intersection
between media and social
research after the digital turn
26. Digital methods take up the challenge of rethinking the
methodological repertoires of social and cultural research by
creatively engaging with digital infrastructures and their
devices
27. – Richard Rogers, “Political Research in the Digital Age”, International
Public Policy Review, 2014
“[Digital methods] refers to repurposing online devices
and platforms (such as Google searches, Facebook and
Wikipedia) for social and political research that would often
have been otherwise improbable.”
28. – Richard Rogers, “Political Research in the Digital Age”, International
Public Policy Review, 2014
“[Digital methods] encourage a sociological outlook or
imagination about research opportunities that exist in online
culture by following the medium rather than asking it to do
one’s disciplinary bidding.”
29. –Noortje Marres, “Re-distributing methods - digital social research as
participatory research,” 2011
“This approach accords to digital devices, search engines
chief among them, the capacity to generate potentially new
methods of social research.”
30. Digital methods are …
!
(1) an approach to studying social and political
issues online (“issue mapping”, “controversy
mapping”, “digital STS”)
!
(2) an approach to the study of digital platforms to
makes visible the method and information politics of
digital devices
!
(3) a contribution to the methodological repertoire of
social and Internet studies and way to reflect on the
politics of methods of these disciplines

49. Findings
Right-wing politics in the North is animated by Islamophobia while
the old right is still active in the South.
!
New issues (e.g. environment, anti-globalisation and rights),
principles and recruitment techniques animate right wing politics in
Europe today.
Counter-measures are often outdated (mismatch between activities
of the right and measures to counter them).

57. Findings
Facebook is an important medium for extremist
groups.
!
Three main clusters based on geographical proximity.
!
European Counter-Jihadist groups are networked and
transnational.
!
Most engaged with content is meme-like.
62. Findings!
Both adaptation and mitigation are highly visible in
negotiations.
Mitigation has been a top priority from the beginning.
Adaptation received less attention in the beginning with
the exception of adaptation financing
Adaptation becomes more important in the second
phase of the negotiations.
65. Notable stability in presence and
intervention of countries.
Most active are China (representing G77),
United States and Europe.
Notable exceptions include Bolivia and
Philippines who are becoming more
prominent in recent negotiations.
Countries tend to be more active when they
host the negotiations.
66.
67. “…the negotiations on climate change have moved from
mitigation to also include adaptation, an issue which
could in principle be seen as a national responsibility.
Here it becomes particularly acute to justify which
countries should receive aid and why. A much
debated method for doing so is the assessment of
vulnerability to climate change.”
!
- climaps.org
70. Who is vulnerable according to whom?
Climaps (2014). Available at: http://climaps.org
71. Vulnerability indices tend to disagree in their
assessment of different countries.
Very few countries (7) are among the most vulnerable
according to all three indices.
Quite a few countries (25) are simultaneously assessed
to be most vulnerable and least vulnerable according
to different indices.
The assessment of climate change vulnerability by
means of indicators continues to be a contentious
issue divide in both policy and academic communities.

78. How might journalism that is aligned with
the digital methods outlook look like?
• It would engage not with data as raw materials but with data
infrastructures.
• It would engage with digital platforms as objects of investigation not just
sources of data to tell stories about issues, platform effects or both.
• It would account for the socio-technical conditions for the creation,
extraction and analysis of data as a key part of the investigation rather
than a methodological footnote.
• It would take seriously the investigation’s potential to interrogate and
intervene in the composition of data infrastructures.
• It may go in the direction of algorithmic accountability reporting
(investigation into the “power structures” and biases inscribed in
computational algorithms - Diakopoulos 2014).
