The digital arena is an exciting place to be a journalist, but it's far from an egalitarian utopia. Men continue to dominate news organizations, a trend that's especially true at the largest entities. This slideshow was presented at the Society of Professional Journalists' Region 1 Conference in Boston on April 26, 2014. It's based on research available at http://megheckman.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/heckman_thesis.pdf

10 things you should know, but no one ever told you - 2009 versionEvan Van Lissum
This is the first 10things presentation. It was held on a conference on october 2009. It gives 10 things to know about the internet. Due to the huge response, I updated the list and created a 2010 version.
10 things you should know, but no one ever told you-2010 versionEvan Van Lissum
The first quote of the “10 things” presentation of DMF2009 was: “What might be true today, may be false tomorrow”. One year later, this quote seems more valid than ever. Times are changing at the speed of light. This year’s “10 things” presentation is an accurate update of what is still valid, what is not anymore valid and other nice things to know about the internet. So, everyone who wants an update in 25 minutes about what’s hot or not, is more than welcome.

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?

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Who's the Boss: Women, leadership and digital news
1. Who’s the boss?
Women, leadership and digital news
Meg Heckman
Lecturer of Journalism
Based on research conducted at
2.
3. A brief history of gender counts:
In 1979, Dorothy Misener Jurney
started counting newswomen at
papers across the county.
Jurney, a retired Philadelphia
Inquirer editor, used newsroom
directories to tally the number
of women in leadership roles.
Although ASNE started counting
race in 1978, it wouldn’t add
gender to its annual census until
1998.
6. New paths to success:
“News is migrating to all kinds of
places, some of them unexpected, all of
them small. Gone are the days when a job as
a cub reporter in a city paper was the start
of a promising career in journalism.” – Nicco
Mele.
15. Why this matters:
“Diversity is certainly a part of accuracy and fairness, whether it relates to
avoiding stereotypes or redefining news to better reflect a multicultural
society. Diversity is about the makeup of news organizations and about who
is making decisions. Diversity is about the way story ideas are developed
and who does the reporting. Diversity is about inclusiveness in choosing
sources and about giving voice to the voiceless.”
J. Black et al., Doing Ethics in Journalism: A Handbook with Case
Studies (Allyn and Bacon, 1999)
16. Recommendations:
Keep counting. Defining a problem is an important first step.
Value the many ways in which journalism is being practiced and
redefined.
Support programs that provide technical and entrepreneurial
training to underrepresented populations.
Hiring editors: Post your job ads.
Call bullshit on editors who say they can’t find qualified and diverse
new hires.

Editor's Notes
When I say “editor” there’s a good chance you imagine someone who looks like this.
I’m hardly the first person to try to gauge the number of women leading newsrooms. In 1979, a year after ASNE launched its race census, Dorothy MisenerJurney started a gender-based count of her own. Jurney, a retired Philadelphia Inquirer editor, used newsroom directories to tally the number of women in leadership roles.
She found that, in 1979, women accounted for 6.5 percent of newsroom management. That number was lower — 4.4 percent — at papers with circulations above 25,000.
Better, but still not parity. And, here’s the real problem: this number doesn’t account for the full journalism landscape.
This new path should mean that journalists of all kinds now have an equal chance of landing at the top of their fields. Right? Wrong. At least according to what I found – but it wasn’t easy to count. The same shifts that make modern journalism so darn exciting also make it hard to count heads.
List a few of the changes that happened recently. Pull out jar of bubble stuff and blow some bubbles. Like chasing bubbles.
This map shows the 402 news organizations in my sample. (Networks like Patch and Village Soup are not represented here because the databases didn’t include enough details about the location of individual sites.
I used an old method in the new world, and it worked pretty well. Anyone with questions about inclusion/exclusion criteria can see me afterwards for detailed tables and a complimentary bottle of Advil.
At first glance, this seems pretty good. Women are slightly more likely to hold leadership roles in emerging digital orgs than they are in legacy orgs… but look deeper.
0-19 is 36 percent; greater than 40 is about 22/23 percent. (Most of the orgs in the under 19 group were 1-2 staffers.) Note that Dorothy Jurney noted the same trend in 1979. Women, it seems, are concentrated at the smaller news organizations, and those orgs are likely have a hyperlocal focus.
Since 2009, roughly two dozen projects have received funding from either the New Media Women Entrepreneurs organization or the New Media Women Foundation. None appear in the Encyclo, and only two appear in The Guide.Michele’s List also overlooks all but one of these sites. The subject matter of the excluded sites is varied: ShineInPeace.com seeks to document every murder in Oakland, California; FullCourt.com covered women’s basketball since 1996; and Symbolia is a tablet magazine that uses comics to explore current events. The exclusion of these sites could someday skew historians’ understanding of the role women played in building digital journalism. This raises questions, but it’s hard to say if inclusion of these orgs would shift the percentage of female leaders. We don’t know the full size of the digital journalism universe, so we also don’t know how many orgs – male and female led alike – are excluded. (In technical terms, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to gauge sampling error.)
The things we associate with modern news startups – geekiness, news chops, bloggy-tech savvy, entrepreneurship – are also typically constructed as male. (This, btw, is also true of race. Typically seen as white and male.) The work of women has historically been seen as something else.
What’s often called the “women’s pages” were a place where women could rise a bit, but they were paid less, were less likely to lead to professional recognition and were less likely to lead to promotion within the organization. We can’t allow this to happen in this exciting new golden age of journalism. I don’t make any value distinction between local journalism and national journalism, but the narrative about modern journalism seems to forget this basic tenant. We’re only starting to understand the economic realities of this digital arena, but it’s fair to say that making a living at the hyperlocal level is hard. VERY hard. Launching an investigative foundation isn’t a cakewalk either, but tax records show it’s possible to attain a certain level of personal financial stability.
Now that we’ve moved beyond traditional orgs, we must pay attention to diversity in the entire ecosystem. How are promoting equal access, equal compensations and equal VOICE in the journalism that’s to come?
That count should include race as well as gender. (Mine didn’t because of time and resources.)
