SUMMARY:Points Unknown - Session I (Spring)
DESCRIPTION:News unfolds in places and every newsworthy event is shaped by the details of location. Those details might include the specifics of a neighborhood as it is today or of the history leading to its current configurations. Alongside the development of web technologies\, journalistic organizations have incorporated web-based maps to enhance reader engagement with stories. But these interactions haven’t always been easy to produce. Points Unknown will train journalism students in GIS and mapping techniques to analyze and visualize spatial information. \nFor Points Unknown: Session I (Spring)\, students will be provided an overview of spatial data and what constitutes a map. Following a presentation on concepts\, we will introduce the software we will use throughout the spring module (QGIS)\, and begin by making a basic map. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Points Unknown - Session II (Spring)
DESCRIPTION:News unfolds in places and every newsworthy event is shaped by the details of location. Those details might include the specifics of a neighborhood as it is today or of the history leading to its current configurations. Alongside the development of web technologies\, journalistic organizations have incorporated web-based maps to enhance reader engagement with stories. But these interactions haven’t always been easy to produce. Points Unknown will train journalism students in GIS and mapping techniques to analyze and visualize spatial information. \nIn session 2 of Points Unknown\, we will move beyond basic maps to begin working with various types of spatial data\, including data from the Census. We will make a variety of visualizations from this data\, and perform basic spatial analysis. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Points Unknown - Session III (Spring)
DESCRIPTION:News unfolds in places and every newsworthy event is shaped by the details of location. Those details might include the specifics of a neighborhood as it is today or of the history leading to its current configurations. Alongside the development of web technologies\, journalistic organizations have incorporated web-based maps to enhance reader engagement with stories. But these interactions haven’t always been easy to produce. Points Unknown will train journalism students in GIS and mapping techniques to analyze and visualize spatial information. \nIn session 3 of Points Unknown\, we will move beyond operations such as overlays and spatial joins and begin to perform analysis on our data. This will include common operations\, such as generating heatmaps\, and more complex operations such as generating isochrones. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Points Unknown - Session IV (Spring)
DESCRIPTION:News unfolds in places and every newsworthy event is shaped by the details of location. Those details might include the specifics of a neighborhood as it is today or of the history leading to its current configurations. Alongside the development of web technologies\, journalistic organizations have incorporated web-based maps to enhance reader engagement with stories. But these interactions haven’t always been easy to produce. Points Unknown will train journalism students in GIS and mapping techniques to analyze and visualize spatial information. \nTo conclude our series\, we will switch gears and utilize Google Earth Pro and Adobe Illustrator to export high resolution 3D earth imagery and add annotation layers to it. This is a very common technique for visualizing movement and space\, and we will walk students through the process from start to finish. \nRegister to Attend
