Data journalism involves analyzing publicly available data to find and tell stories in the public interest. It is a team effort involving writers, researchers, statisticians, hackers, and designers. Examples include using data to analyze rankings at the Olympics, traffic accidents, and hurricanes. Journalists obtain data from sources like government agencies, non-profits, or by scraping websites. They analyze the data using tools like Excel, R, ManyEyes, or Tableau and visualize it on maps or interactive visualizations. Data journalism is a form of quality journalism that has been practiced for 50 years and provides new opportunities for reporting while improving transparency.

1) Open data and data journalism allow citizens to engage with information in new ways and be more involved in civic issues.
2) Journalists are increasingly using data to find and tell impactful stories by analyzing datasets, visualizing information, and collaborating with developers and civic hackers.
3) Emerging trends include citizens and journalists working together to collect and share real-time sensor data, as well as co-creating data to solve community problems.
The Russian News Topic Modelling Based on Citation Detections
"In a digital era the oldest Russian news agency ""TASS"" employs BigData and ML to analyze the wide scope of news data published on the Internet in order to monitor a media space, measure the performance of the editorial, compare it to competitors, and enhance its market presence. We use ML techniques such as text distance, PageRank, clustering, graph representation, coupled with BigData approaches to undertsand the amount of citations - and Citation Index - of the TASS news by other media companies, and use these insights to model topics in news on a daily basis.
In this talk I will show technology and application of a topic modelling approach based on the major Russian news data, with implications to business value for the big news agency."

Data journalism in the second machine age
Data journalism has a long history but is increasingly important as algorithms and data play a larger role. Newspapers have used data for centuries, and tools like calculators, mainframes, spreadsheets and databases helped early computer-assisted reporting. Today, data journalism uses online tools to gather, clean, analyze and visualize data to support investigative reporting. Emerging trends include using open data to monitor issues like corruption, using sensors and drones to collect real-time data, and ensuring accountability and transparency around the use of personalized data and predictive algorithms. When combined with responsive institutions, data journalism can help drive social change.

Mining Social Media with Linked Open Data, Entity Recognition, and Event Extr...
Presented at the 4th DEOS workshop, http://diadem.cs.ox.ac.uk/deos13/
Social media presents itself as a context-rich source of big data, readily exhibiting volume, velocity and variety. Mining information from microblogs and other social media is a challenging, emerging research area. Unlike carefully authored news text and other longer content, social media text poses a number of new challenges, due to the short, noisy, context-dependent, and dynamic nature.
This talk will discuss firstly how Linked Open Data (LOD) vocabularies (namely DBpedia and YAGO) have been used to help entity recognition and disambiguation in such content. We will introduce LODIE, the LOD-based extension of the widely used ANNIE open-source entity recognition system. LODIE includes also entity disambiguation (including products, as well as names of persons, locations, and organisations) and has been developed as part of the TrendMiner and uComp projects. Quantitative evaluation results will be shown, including a comparison against other state-of-the-art methods and an analysis of how errors in upstream linguistic pre-processing (i.e. tokenisation and POS tagging) can affect disambiguation performance. Our results demonstrate the importance of adjusting approaches for this genre.
The second half of the talk will focus on fine-grained events in tweets. Awareness of temporal context in social media enables many interesting applications. We identify events using the TimeML schema, focusing on occurrences and actions. Challenges of event annotation will be discussed, as well as the development of a supervised event extractor specifically for social media. We evaluate this against traditional event annotation approaches (e.g. Evita, TIPSem).
Technology News
New technology may allow thieves to unlock doors using a stolen digital key. A study found Wikipedia has slightly more equal representation of women and men compared to other biographical databases. A reporter declined a job offer from a new Verizon-backed publishing site due to its strict rules. Technology plays a crucial role in business and removing it would cause global trade and the economy to collapse, as it has become essential to and a multi-billion dollar industry in conducting business. New heat shield technology is needed to land larger spacecraft on Mars that could carry humans, as present designs weigh too much.

Citizen reporting and moderation are mentioned as ways to involve the public through commenting and discussion.
Twitter As Newssource
1) The document analyzes tweets related to three plane crash incidents to understand how Twitter functions as a news source in fast-breaking situations.
2) It finds that for a crash at Schiphol Airport, over half the tweets in the first three hours were news and came from citizen reporters, making Twitter the primary source of information for mainstream media.
3) In contrast, crashes in Ryanair and American Airlines saw fewer eyewitness reports and more tweets simply referring to or retweeting other sources, indicating Twitter played more of an awareness role than primary news source.
