Digital Journalism - Principles and PracticesGokul Alex
The document discusses several topics related to digital journalism, including challenges around truth, trust, and transparency in an age of easy publication and spread of false information. It explores how social media and technology have disrupted traditional journalism business models and funding. Emerging trends in digital journalism are discussed, along with calls for approaches like slow journalism, human-centered design, and addressing information asymmetry.
Journalism in the 21st Century conference - Melbourne University - July 2009.
Plenary session: Journalism in the new digital age - New Directions for National and International media outlets.
This document discusses two myths about journalism in the digital age and provides guidance on how journalism can adapt and thrive online. It argues that (1) journalism has always needed to adapt to changes in how information is communicated, and (2) while the internet undermines traditional business models, it creates new opportunities. The key is for journalists to experiment with different formats, voices and revenue streams instead of clinging to old ways. Quality diagnosis of changes is important before prescribing solutions. If journalists focus on their core tasks of verification, sense-making, eyewitness reporting and investigation, journalism will not just survive but improve in the digital world.
Strategic communication and the influence of the media on public opinionPOLIS LSE
this is a lecture given to the NATO defense college in Rome on March 8th 2016 about how changes in journalism are impacting on issues such as the understanding of conflict and the formation of public opinion. It looks at the role of social media, the changes to mainstream media as it becomes more networked and the ways that might be changing flows of public opinion, especially around security and terror issues.
These are the slides from a talk I gave to editors of Swedish newspapers in 2016 when I started with the predictions I had made to another group of Swedish newspaper editors back in 2009. I was right then, but I have no idea if I am right now.
The document discusses the concept of crowdsourcing in journalism. It defines crowdsourcing as outsourcing tasks traditionally performed by employees to a large, undefined network of people. It describes three types of crowdsourcing: professionals who share their work, packagers who gather content from multiple sources, and tinkerers who solve problems. Real examples of crowdsourcing in journalism are provided, such as newspapers inviting readers to report voter issues. The benefits of crowdsourcing include gathering information quickly from many sources and engaging readers.

The document discusses the impact of the Internet on media. While some argue the Internet has allowed for more democratic participation and sharing of user-generated content, others believe this is an exaggeration. The Internet may have transferred some gatekeeping power to audiences, but mainstream media institutions still largely control the mass media narrative and people primarily use the Internet for entertainment rather than political purposes.

Data Journalism: chapter from Online Journalism Handbook first editionPaul Bradshaw
This chapter is from the first edition of the Online Journalism Handbook. The work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
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?
This document introduces a handbook for journalism education on the topics of journalism, 'fake news', and disinformation. It defines key terms like disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda. It explains that disinformation refers to deliberately misleading information spread to confuse or manipulate people, while misinformation refers to unintentionally misleading information. The document discusses how digital technologies and social media enable the spread of disinformation and undermine trust in journalism. It argues that journalists need to strengthen fact-checking, avoid inadvertently spreading false information, and proactively uncover new forms of disinformation to maintain credibility. The handbook aims to help educate journalists on responsibly addressing this crucial issue.
The document discusses the rise of social media and its impact on traditional media. It notes that internet usage and social networking sites have grown dramatically in recent years. As a result, newspaper circulation is declining and many papers now face threats of closure. The document argues that if consumers are online, businesses need to reach them online as traditional media becomes a thing of the past.
This slideshow was presented as part of the Johnson County Community College Retirees Association (JCCCRA) session on how to spot fake news. Several steps were outlined to verify the accuracy of everything from email chain letters to websites to Facebook postings. Included in the session was information on known fake news sites, fact checking sites and key characteristics of bogusness. The session was offered on May 15, 2017 on the JCCC campus.
This document discusses citizen journalism and the role of the "preditor". It defines citizen journalism as reporting by ordinary people rather than professional journalists. Citizen journalism relies on crowdsourcing and combining the work of amateurs with professionals. A preditor facilitates citizen journalism by editing, organizing, and ensuring quality control of user-submitted content. Their role includes content work, networking, community work, and technical work. The relationship between amateur and professional journalists is also examined, as well as tools and influences on citizen journalism today.
Data journalism is changing everything by empowering citizens with open data. In the 2010s, big data will allow citizens to self-organize in new generative ways. A hybrid data future may emerge where open government data, social data, and data scraped or leaked by citizens and journalists creates new watchdogs. Storytelling will still be important as these tools are used to find and tell stories.
Misinformation, Disinformation, Malinformation, fake news and librariesDr Trivedi
The document discusses misinformation, fake news, and the role of libraries in combating them. It covers topics like the types of misinformation and fake news, how they spread, challenges they present, and strategies for identifying and addressing them, including media and information literacy. The document advocates for libraries to promote these literacy strategies to help people distinguish misinformation from credible information online.
The Rise Of Social Media And Its Impact On Mainstream Journalismtwofourseven
This document provides a summary of a working paper about how mainstream media organizations in the UK and US are responding to the rise of social media and user-generated content.
The key conclusions are:
1. Participation in social media has exploded in recent years, forcing traditional media to take note.
2. Social media is fundamentally changing breaking news by compressing news cycles and increasing pressure on editors.
3. Journalists are beginning to embrace social media, but on their own terms by marrying new tools with organizational norms through guidelines and training.
4. Social media is creating an extra layer of information and opinion, not replacing journalism, though people increasingly engage with information recommended by friends.

Digital Disruption and Journalism's FutureSelf-employed
George Brock discusses the challenges facing journalism in a time of digital disruption. He argues that while information abundance creates issues for verification, it also provides opportunities if journalists focus on their core tasks of verification, sense-making, investigation and eyewitness reporting. New skills are needed to distribute content as users now publish and share information. Journalists must add unique value by cutting through quantity to find reliable facts and tell stories coherently across multiple dimensions. Tools like the prototype "Juice" could help by supporting creative searches and easy linking of sources to fulfill journalism's purpose of establishing truth. Ultimately, the field's progress will be defined by balancing what audiences want with journalism's democratic and moral goals.
[2018] Tech Trends For Journalism and Media – The Future Today InstituteFilipp Paster
Key Takeaways
2018 marks the beginning of the end of smartphones in the world's largest economies. What's coming next are conversational interfaces with zero-UIs. This will radically change the media landscape, and now is the best time to start thinking through future scenarios.
In 2018, a critical mass of emerging technologies will converge finding advanced uses beyond initial testing and applied research. That’s a signal worth paying attention to. News organizations should devote attention to emerging trends in voice interfaces, the decentralization of content, mixed reality, new types of search, and hardware (such as CubeSats and smart cameras).
Journalists need to understand what artificial intelligence is, what it is not, and what it means for the future of news. AI research has advanced enough that it is now a core component of our work at FTI. You will see the AI ecosystem represented in many of the trends in this report, and it is vitally important that all decision-makers within news organizations familiarize themselves with the current and emerging AI landscapes. We have included an AI Primer For Journalists in our Trend Report this year to aid in that effort.
Decentralization emerged as a key theme for 2018. Among the companies and organizations FTI covers, we discovered a new emphasis on restricted peer-to-peer networks to detect harassment, share resources and connect with sources. There is also a push by some democratic governments around the world to divide internet access and to restrict certain content, effectively creating dozens of “splinternets.”
Consolidation is also a key theme for 2018. News brands, broadcast spectrum, and artificial intelligence startups will continue to be merged with and acquired by relatively few corporations. Pending legislation and policy in the U.S., E.U. and in parts of Asia could further concentrate the power among a small cadre of information and technology organizations in the year ahead.
To understand the future of news, you must pay attention to the future of many industries and research areas in the coming year. When journalists think about the future, they should broaden the usual scope to consider developments from myriad other fields also participating in the knowledge economy. Technology begets technology. We are witnessing an explosion in slow motion.
The internet has profoundly affected how we collect and consume information; there is no debate about that. How can media companies adapt, survive and thrive in the digital age by returning to the fundamentals of the narrative?
Computational journalism applies computational techniques like artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and data visualization to journalism activities. It helps analyze large amounts of structured and unstructured data from public and private databases to aid watchdog journalism. The field draws on computer science and aims to transform data into information to advance fact-based reporting through tools like digital dashboards for journalists.
Data journalism is the use of data to support stories and reporting. It involves gathering large datasets, filtering them to find relevant stories, and visualizing the data to make it understandable. It differs from traditional journalism in its use of digital data at large scales. Data journalism combines investigative reporting skills with data analysis and visualization techniques. It is also related to citizen and participatory journalism by empowering readers with personally relevant data tools and insights.
Technology has enabled the spread of fake news by allowing anyone to publish and amplify news without editorial oversight. Social networks are a major driver of fake news circulation, accounting for 30-40% of readers of fake news. It is technically possible to interfere with fake news distribution by labeling, downranking, or removing false stories on platforms like Facebook and Google. However, identifying fake news is challenging, and completely stopping it could infringe on free speech. Empowering media-literate users may be the best line of defense against fake news for now.
Technology has enabled the spread of fake news by allowing anyone to publish and amplify news without editorial oversight. Social networks are a major driver of fake news circulation, accounting for 30-40% of readers of fake news. While it is technically possible to interfere with fake news distribution through measures like labeling, downranking, or removing false content, platforms cannot completely stop fake news and some methods risk interfering with free speech. Ultimately, media literacy among users is the best defense against fake news influence.
This document summarizes key points about changes and continuity in journalism. Disruptive revolutions are ongoing as assets become liabilities and new competitors emerge, but journalism retains core functions. While information routes and volume have changed dramatically, the purpose of journalism remains the systematic search for truth on issues that matter to society. Successful journalism adds value by activities like data analysis, creative search strategies, and explanation amid information abundance. Mastering change requires experimentation over rigid innovation and focusing efforts where journalism, customer data, and technology intersect. The moral and democratic purposes of journalism remain unchanged alongside skills like truth-telling and attracting attention, despite threats from new technologies and business models.
Data journalism faces challenges in evaluating and analyzing large datasets, maintaining objectivity, and developing needed skills. While not all journalists are data journalists, journalism must adapt to the "data revolution" by developing skills to find stories within complex datasets and understand data sources and algorithms. The line between activism and journalism has blurred, requiring careful evaluation of motivations and reliability of sources.

The Evolution of Technology in Newspapers | Enterprise WiredEnterprise Wired
In this comprehensive analysis, we delve into the evolution of technology in newspapers, exploring how traditional print media has adapted to the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital revolution.
This document discusses the digital dilemma facing newspapers. It outlines how newspapers traditionally relied on advertising and cover prices for revenue but these income streams have declined with the rise of digital media. Readers now get news online and expect it to be free, while advertisers have more options for placing ads. Newspapers have tried strategies like focusing on digital platforms, paywalls, diversifying revenue streams through apps and subscriptions. However, the core issues remain around generating revenue and adapting to how readers now consume media on smartphones and tablets. The future may see continued experimentation with business models and more customized, on-the-go content to engage modern audiences.
Print Media Today - Breda, NHTV 05102014Bart Brouwers
This document discusses the challenges facing printed media and traditional journalism business models. It notes that while printed newspapers are struggling, the amount of journalism and access to information is greater than ever before due to digital news and social media. However, the question remains about how to pay for it as consumers expect information to be free online. The document explores new emerging business models for media companies, including subscriptions, advertising, affiliate marketing, crowdfunding, memberships, and partnerships that could help sustain journalism in the digital age.
The Rise of Data Journalism: The Making of Journalistic Knowledge through Qua...Liliana Bounegru
The document discusses the rise of data journalism and its impact on the field of journalism. It provides three key points:
1) Data journalism is transforming how news is sourced, produced, and delivered through the use of data, quantitative methods, and computational techniques. This includes the rise of programmer-journalists and data-driven investigative reporting.
2) While data journalism has faced criticisms around objectivity and democratic representation, it also provides benefits like enhancing transparency, accountability, and efficiency. It allows for new forms of storytelling and knowledge production.
3) Data journalism is discussed and studied in academic literature around its implications for the democratic functions of media, computational culture, and reconfiguring traditional journalism epistem
Algorithms and Public Interest? Protecting pluralism and diversity in media a...University of Sydney
This talk discusses algorithmic public service media (PSM) as an automation mechanism and policy lever to ensure diversity and pluralism in media. While commercial algorithmic platforms focus on popularity, PSM is tasked with social good. Algorithmic PSM could connect specific media with niche audiences in contrast to biases of commercial algorithms. It examines how PSM can utilize digital media and algorithms to meet its obligations within an increasingly automated environment, including through personalization, diversity of exposure, and critical analytics to measure impact beyond vanity metrics. Algorithmic PSM represents an opportunity for governments to support public media organizations and engage with large technology platforms on a more level playing field.
News channels play a pivotal role in today's world by shaping public opinion and influencing decision-making. They bring global events into people's homes through live reporting and footage, fostering understanding. News channels also provide analysis and discussion to encourage critical thinking. While the proliferation of channels has increased information access, it has also led to challenges like sensationalism and misinformation. Responsible journalism through fact-checking and transparency remains important, as does engaged audiences who evaluate source credibility.
The Times implemented a paywall in July 2010 which led to a significant drop in visitors. In the first two weeks 150,000 people said they would pay but only 10-15% became subscribers. Visitor numbers fell by one third and have continued to drop. Cultural relevance, not a paywall, is key to attracting an audience and generating profits in the digital age. Allowing free access and finding new monetization methods can help publications maintain relevance.
Creative destruction versus Creative EvangelisationDinis Guarda
The document discusses the concepts of creative destruction and creative evangelization in the digital age. Creative destruction refers to the process of innovation replacing outdated products and processes, while creative evangelization involves using digital tools to spread information and potentially convert others to new beliefs. The author argues that in today's world of big data and algorithms, creativity may be humanity's means of thriving amid increased complexity, randomness, and "black swan" events. Leaders must learn to effectively manage and create intelligence from vast amounts of integrated data in order to connect emotionally with networks and evangelize creatively.
Strategic communication, news media and influencePOLIS LSE
This document discusses strategic communication and the influence of news media in the current digital information environment. It notes that news is now networked across varied platforms and blended into a mixed media ecology. This has led to both opportunities like direct communication but also challenges like echo chambers, verification problems during breaking events, and the spread of "fake news." The document provides recommendations for journalists, networks, authorities and citizens to help address these issues, including promoting news literacy, transparency, and high quality curated content while maintaining the democratic aspects of digital media.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

As the pioneering Iranian blogger Hossein Derakhshan, who was imprisoned in Tehran for six years for his
online activity, wrote in the Guardian earlier this year, the “diversity that the world wide web had

networks – and the end result is “making us all less powerful in relation to government and corporations”.

Slow journalism is a news subculture borne out of
the frustration at the quality of journalism from the
mainstream press.
A continuation from the larger "slow" movement,
slow journalism shares the same values as other
