SUMMARY:Points Unknown - Session 04
DESCRIPTION:Points Unknown\, a workshop series designed for journalism students\, is a four-week series to introduce students to spatial investigative and visualization techniques. 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. \nThe workshop will take place every Wednesday in February from 8-10am. No experience is necessary to participate in this program. This hands-on workshop will allow participants to recognize and visualize geographical patterns that often play a vital role in news reporting. \nApply to Attend \nFor more information\, write mkrisch@columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:Points Unknown - QGIS 04
DESCRIPTION:Points Unknown\, a workshop series designed for journalism students\, is an eight-week series to introduce students to spatial investigative and visualization techniques. 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. \nThe workshop will take place every Wednesday morning from 8-10am\, and it’s organized into two main parts. The first four weeks will be dedicated to GIS education using QGIS\, a point-and-click interface that provides a foundational understanding of spatial data analysis and its correlation with news events. No experience is necessary to participate in this program. This hands-on workshop will allow participants to recognize and visualize geographical patterns that often play a vital role in news reporting. The following four weeks will shift focus towards more reproducible mapping techniques\, taught exclusively in Python\, where participants will delve into scripting and automation to conduct spatial analysis and visualization. \nBagels will be served for those able to get out of bed in time\, and attendees are invited to bring their beverage of choice. Hosted at the Brown Institute in Pulitzer Hall\, this recurring workshop series offers not only a theoretical understanding but also practical skills that will elevate the participants’ approach to journalism. \nRegister at https://brwn.co/map-registration \nFor more information\, write mkrisch@columbia.edu.

Alongside the development of web technologies\, journalistic organizations have incorporated web-based maps to enhance reader engagement with stories.

This is a very common technique for visualizing movement and space\, and we will walk students through the process from start to finish. \nRegistration for this event has closed.

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. \nRegistration for this event is closed.

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 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 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
