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.

Journalism in an Age of Big Data: What It Is, Why It Matters and Where to StartLiliana Bounegru
Invited lecture and workshop at the European University Institute Boot Camp for Journalists: Tools for Better Reporting, Florence, Italy, 10 June 2014.
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?
Presentation given at the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC), University of Pennsylvania, April 2019. Based on presentations at the 6th ACM Collective Intelligence Conference, 2018 and the 6th AAAI Conference on Human Computation & Crowdsourcing (HCOMP), 2018.

Making Decisions in a World Awash in Data: We’re going to need a different bo...Micah Altman
In his abstract, Scriffignano summarizes as follows:
l explore some of the ways in which the massive availability of data is changing and the types of questions we must ask in the context of making business decisions. Truth be told, nearly all organizations struggle to make sense out of the mounting data already within the enterprise. At the same time, businesses, individuals, and governments continue to try to outpace one another, often in ways that are informed by newly-available data and technology, but just as often using that data and technology in alarmingly inappropriate or incomplete ways. Multiple “solutions” exist to take data that is poorly understood, promising to derive meaning that is often transient at best. A tremendous amount of “dark” innovation continues in the space of fraud and other bad behavior (e.g. cyber crime, cyber terrorism), highlighting that there are very real risks to taking a fast-follower strategy in making sense out of the ever-increasing amount of data available. Tools and technologies can be very helpful or, as Scriffignano puts it, “they can accelerate the speed with which we hit the wall.” Drawing on unstructured, highly dynamic sources of data, fascinating inference can be derived if we ask the right questions (and maybe use a bit of different math!). This session will cover three main themes: The new normal (how the data around us continues to change), how are we reacting (bringing data science into the room), and the path ahead (creating a mindset in the organization that evolves). Ultimately, what we learn is governed as much by the data available as by the questions we ask. This talk, both relevant and occasionally irreverent, will explore some of the new ways data is being used to expose risk and opportunity and the skills we need to take advantage of a world awash in data.
In this session, we talk about the mobile and social web, and how it shapes economy, individual behavior and well-being, political events, and society as a whole.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

2. DISRUPTIVE
REVOLUTIONS
• They don’t happen once, but repeat
• Assets become liabilities
• Longevity gets confused with relevance
• New competitors (Uber, LinkedIn, Atom Bank, Red Bull)
• Revolutions should not, need not, sweep away everything
• The trick lies in knowing what to throw away and what to
retain
• Disruption is not new; it is most of journalism’s history
• Late 20th century: historically very unusual
• Writing, printing, broadcasting…all disruptive (and
unpopular) in their day
3. THE REAL CHANGES
• Routes on which information travels change: “across” as
well as “down”
• Interactivity easier
• Frictionless speed and low cost
• Above all, volume
• The sheer quantity of information available and in
circulation is the largest single change
• This is not adaptive or operational change (as many
thought at first)
• It is transformative
4. JOURNALISM
• “MSM” (mainstream media) vs Digerati
• This polarisation forgot the cycle of reaction to innovation
• First overdone optimism, then overdone pessimism, then
balanced synthesis
• Decline for print is slow; for terrestrial TV, even slower
• Journalism brands and institutions die rarely, and if they
do, slowly
• What is in trouble is business model of daily print
• Huge consumption shift via new distribution channels
(Facebook etc)
• BUT…journalism does something important
5. THE PLUS SIDE
• Engine of opportunity
• For bad and good
• Experiment Central!
• Slow-burn cultural change in controlled
societies
• Consumer opportunity to compare and choose
amid abundance
• Price of information falls
6. THE DOWNSIDE
• A global village will have idiots and they will
have global range
• Value of information falls as supply expands
• Managing abundance
• No immediate “replacement” business model for
news
• Newsrooms have old-business-model staff costs
• Engagement is harder: attention can be
switched every few seconds
7. SEQUENCE OF
CHANGE
1. The web
2. Smartphones
3. Tablets
4. Apps to apps + connected devices
5. Next…robot/AI journalism, ad-
blockers, virtual reality
9. THIS TRUTH DOES
NOT CHANGE
“It is the imagination, ultimately,
and not mathematical calculation
that creates media; it is the fresh
perception of how to fit a potential
machine into an actual way of life
that really constitutes the act of
‘invention’.” Anthony Smith,
Goodbye Gutenberg, 1980
10. WHAT IS JOURNALISM
FOR?
• The systematic search to establish the
truth of what matters to society in real
time
• 4 core tasks which newsrooms practice:
• Verification (Storyful, First Draft)
• Sense-making (Vox, Quartz)
• Investigation (TBIJ, ProPublica)
• Eye-witness (Groundtruth, GlobalVoices)
11. THE TEST
•Value
• Are you adding value for which people
(users or advertisers) will pay –
preferably again and again?
• …in a world in which anyone with a
smartphone can summon a lot of
information with one finger?
12. EXAMPLES OF VALUE
(1)
• Data
“There are still reporters out there who don’t know
what all the fuss is about, who really don’t want to
know about maths or spreadsheets. But for others,
this new wave represents a way to save
journalism. A new role for journalists as a bridge
and guide between those in power who have the
data (and are rubbish at explaining it) and the
public who desperately want to understand the
data and access it but need help. We can be that
bridge.”
Simon Rogers, Facts are Sacred (2011)
13. VALUE (2)
• Search
• Google-funded project is researching, piloting and evaluating
new software called JUICE, to implement creative search
strategies that journalists can use to strengthen investigative
storytelling more efficiently than with current news content
management and search tools. It builds on…advanced
creative search algorithms and interactive creativity support."
• Others at work in Bergen, Trondheim, Brussels
• Explanation (reaction to abundance) – e.g. Vox
• New story-telling syntax: written words + audio-visual
• Aggregation/curation
• Editorial responsibility and care
14. MASTERING CHANGE
• Unleash your inner anthropologist
• Data is your friend – if you have qualified people
to tame it
• Experiment better than innovation
• Think hard about the quality and discipline of
experiment:
• How are we measuring success?
• If it fails, can we kill it?
• What does it take to do a proper test?
• How many tests do we need?
15. TARGET +
STYLE/VOICE
“Online it’s easier to go narrow to go big. At
ED, we target sub-sets and groups: night
owls, people who wear glasses and/or
beards. We don’t talk to them, we talk with
them. What are the most interesting sub-
sets? Takes a ton of experimentation to find
‘em.”
Greg Dybec, Managing Editor, Elite Daily (top site
for US millenials, sold to Daily Mail 2015)
16. LIKELY BARRIERS
• Failure isn’t seen as useful
• In experiment, failure is often educational and
illuminating
• Today’s deadline and emergencies take
precedence over exploration of the future
• Journalism is seen as a mission and a vocation:
heresy is punished (by other journalists)
• Ordered to “innovate” or “think outside the
box”, people (usually) freeze.
• The “box” isn’t there any more
18. ANOTHER WAY OF
PUTTING IT
“To stop your technologists disappearing
up their own agenda…draw on the wall
three circles which all intersect: journalism,
CRM data and technology. The draw a large
arrow in the small area where all three
overlap. Then make the techies look at this
diagram all day. It’s surprising how easy
this focus is to lose.”
Matt Shearer, Head, BBC News Labs
19. STARING AT THE
FUTURE
• Mobile digital daily consumption has reached 51% in the
US and is at over 40% worldwide (KPCB & JP Morgan).
The Guardian: we expect two-thirds by end 2016
• The “trifecta of terror”: ad-blocking, ad fraud (aka non-
human traffic) and viewability (aka responsive design).
(Dan Williamson, TheMediaBriefing)
• There are 16 sensors in the average smartphone: content
could be adjusted for every piece of data about what the
user is doing. (Frederic Filloux, Monday Note)
• “We’re probably not that far from software which will
predict how well or badly an item of journalism will do with
a particular segment of the audience.” (Seth Rogin)
• Oh, and video consumption is exploding
20. BACK TO DISRUPTION
• Hold on to what is important whatever the
era
• You need intelligence about what is
happening
• You need agility to adapt to rapid change
• Never lose focus on what makes your
journalism work of distinctive value
