SUMMARY:Brown Institute Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Maneesh Agrawala and Mark Hansen cordially invite you to the Brown Institute for Media Innovation’s Annual Showcase! \nJoin us for a reception starting at 5PM on October 22\, 2025 in the Simonyi Conference Center in the CoDa building at Stanford University. \nRegister to Attend \nThe event features a mix of engineers\, technologists\, journalists and media producers\, all funded through the 2024-25 Magic Grant program. \nalphaXiv\, led by students at Stanford\, has created a discussion platform layered directly on top of arXiv’s 2.4 million academic papers — breaking down barriers between curious students and distinguished researchers by enabling real-time Q&A and collaboration on cutting-edge research. \nAnother team from Columbia University\, Improper Conduct\, has utilized large language models to build the first-of-its-kind public database tracking prosecutorial misconduct during criminal trials. Their pilot in Ohio has already identified patterns of improper and at times illegal behavior\, and they’re working to incorporate AI tools that can help watchdog journalists expose judicial abuses nationwide. \nMeasuring Silence on Social Media\, a project led by students at Stanford\, is conducting a broad census of what perspectives are systematically under- or over-represented across online communities. Using a novel human + AI pipeline that leverages large language models and survey methods\, they’re quantifying the silencing effect to reveal whose voices go unheard in digital spaces. \nAnd Justice Delayed\, an investigative project from Columbia\, is addressing India’s staggering backlog of nearly 50 million court cases\, cataloging long-pending criminal cases across 650+ district courts to equip journalists in remote regions with tools to scrutinize every aspect of their local criminal justice systems. \nRead about the entire cohort projects presenting at the 2025 showcase event. \nWe hope you can join us! \nEstablished in 2012\, the David and Helen Gurley Brown Institute is a collaboration between Columbia University and Stanford University\, designed to encourage and support new endeavors in media innovation. At Stanford\, the primary focus is on media technology\, and the Institute is anchored in the School of Engineering. At Columbia\, the primary focus is on content\, and the Institute is anchored in the Graduate School of Journalism.

SUMMARY:Matt Jones & Chris Wiggins Book Launch 'How Data Happened'\, featuring a Conversation with Julia Angwin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a spirited conversation with renowned data journalist Julia Angwin as she discusses How Data Happened: A History from the Age of Reason to the Age of Algorithms with  Matt Jones and Chris Wiggins of Columbia.  The book expands on the popular course the authors created and have taught for the past several years at Columbia. Our students asked: How has data become such a pervasive and seemingly all-powerful force in our political and personal lives?  How Data Happens illuminates the ways\, going back centuries\, in which data has been used and continues to be used as a tool and a weapon in arguing for what is true\, as well as a means of rearranging or defending power.

SUMMARY:2020 Brown Institute Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Join the Event! \nThe event features a unique mix of journalists and technologists\, all funded through the 2019-20 Magic Grant program — this is their moment to show off a year’s worth of work. The event will take place on a unique virtual platform allowing visitors to mingle with directors and staff\, and meet individually with grantees while they demo their projects. \nThe projects this year are incredibly strong. Each one addresses an important contemporary question\, be it political\, cultural or technical — from a tool that can assist in analyzing the last ten years of 24/7 TV news coverage; to a solutions journalism approach to tracking and reporting on maternal mortality in Nigeria; to a new tool that securely transforms a smartphone into a socially-minded diagnostic device offering insights into digital behavior; to the first comprehensive database of human rights violations in Pakistan.

SUMMARY:2019 Brown Institute Annual Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Mark Hansen and Maneesh Agrawala cordially invite you to the Brown Institute for Media Innovation 2019 Showcase! \nJoin us for a reception and exhibition of our 2018-2019 projects. \nOctober 17\, 2019 – 6:00pm\nat the Brown Institute\nat Columbia University \n\n\nDescriptions of the projects can be seen below. The event will take place in the Brown Institute\, located in Pulitzer Hall (2950 Broadway) at Columbia University.\n\n\n\nArtistic Vision. The crucial footage for breaking news reports often comes from eye witnesses\, “citizen journalists\,” using their smartphones. While these videos often do not meet the quality standards set by news organizations\, there is a hesitation to perform much post-processing to improve the content — in the spirit of being accurate and truthful. With their Magic Grant\, two Computer Scientists\, Jane E and Ohad Fried\, will help people capture higher quality content and\, ultimately\, contribute more impactful\, immediate\, on-scene documentation of breaking events. E and Fried will create tools that overlay directly on the screen of a traditional camera\, dynamically augmenting the current view of a scene with information that will help people make better photo capture decisions. “Our hope is that such interfaces will empower users to be more intentional about their storytelling and artistic decisions while taking photos.” \n  \nAudiovisual Analysis of 10 Years of TV News. Ten years of U.S. TV News — Since 2009\, the Internet Archive has been actively curating a collection of news broadcasts from across the country\, assembling a corpus of over 200\,000 hours of video. Computer Scientists Will Crichton and Haotian Zhang will perform an in-depth longitudinal study of this video collection\, scanning for patterns in both audio as well as visual trends. How has coverage of different topics changed over the years? How often do women get cut off in conversation versus men? What is the relationship between still images and subject? How does clothing and fashion differ across networks and shows? This project will tackle these and many other difficult questions\, demonstrating the new potential for large-scale video analysis. This Magic Grant will build on a previous grant from Brown\, also led by Will Crichton\, called Esper. That project created an open-source software infrastructure that helped journalists and researchers “scale up” their investigations\, to analyze\, visualize and query extremely large video collections. \n  \nBigLocal News. State patrols stop and search drivers in every state\, but until recently it has been nearly impossible to understand what they’ve been doing — and whether these searches discriminate against certain drivers. The data was scattered across jurisdictions\, “public” but not online\, and in a dizzying variety of formats. In 2014\, Cheryl Phillips began the Stanford Open Policing Project to provide open\, ongoing and consistent access to police stop data in 31 states\, and created a new statistical test for discrimination. This is just one example of how sharing local data an improve local journalism. Phillips — together with Columbia Journalist Jonathan Stray\, Stanford Electrical Engineering PhD student Irena Fischer-Hwang\, and Columbia Journalism/Computer Science MS student Erin Riglin — was awarded a Magic Grant to build on this success\, creating a pipeline that will enable more local accountability journalism and boost the likelihood of big policy impact. The team will collect\, clean\, archive and distribute data that can be used to tell important journalistic stories. The data will be archived in the Stanford Digital Repository\, and the teams work will also help extend Columbia’s Workbench computational platform\, making the analysis of local data broadly available to even novice data journalists. \n  \nCharleston Reconstructed. Particularly in the American South\, historical memory is distorted by outdated structures in public spaces. Antebellum and Confederate era monuments celebrate the oppressive legacy of white men and exclude the contributions of women and people of color to American society\, complicating claims to equality in the present. White supremacists gather around them\, local governments fight over whether to remove them\, and activists tear them down. It’s a slow moving process toward creating a physical space that reflects more current ideas about the past and present. With a seed grant\, Columbia Documentary Journalism student Robert Tokanel\, Stanford Computer Scientist Kyle Qian\, and Stanford undergraduates Khoi Le and Hope Schroeder will help audiences imagine a powerful new reality. The team will work toward digitally transforming public spaces in Charleston\, South Carolina\, using narrative film techniques and augmented reality to flip the power structures of the past\, hoping to expose users to a range of perspectives about the value of monuments as they currently stand. \n  \n \nDecoding Differences in DNA Forensic Software. Imagine testing the fingernail scrapings of a murder victim to determine if a suspect could be the killer\, only to have one DNA interpretation software program incriminate the suspect and a different program absolve them. Such a scenario played out two years ago in the widely-publicized murder trial of Oral Nicholas Hillary\, raising questions that the criminal justice system still cannot answer: why\, when\, and by how much do these programs differ from one another? To answer these questions\, this Magic Grant assembles a multi-disciplinary team — Jeanna Matthews is a Computer Scientist; Nathan Adams\, a DNA investigations specialist; Jessica Goldthwaite with The Legal Aid Society; Dan Krane\, a Biologist; Surya Mattu\, a Journalist; and David Madigan\, a Statistician. This Magic Grant project will systematically compare forensic DNA software\, moving the story beyond anecdotal examples to a systematic investigative strategy. In the process\, they will explore important issues of algorithmic transparency\, and the role of complex software systems in the criminal justice system and beyond. \n  \n \nDemocracy Fighters. Ninety-two journalists have been killed in Mexico since 2000. Contrary to popular belief\, these reporters did not die as the result of generalized violence. Instead\, they were targeted. Their deaths cannot be understood without reading and listening to their work. Consequently\, the worth of their journalism — and the risks they undertook — cannot be fully comprehended without understanding the rich context and history of the places where they lived\, the social forces they faced\, and the stories they told. Alejandra Ibarra Chaoul\, a Journalist want to give these reporters’ work a home and provide that context so that “through this repository\, their fight for democracy will continue.” \n  \n“Casting the Vote: A Call to a Count” is a collaboration between documentary filmmaker June Cross; director Charlotte Brathwaite\, a 2019 Creative Capital Awardee; dramaturg Sunder Ganglani\, writer Janani Balasubramanian and musician Justin Hicks. They are working on a new way to bring journalism to an audience and to engage them in the issues facing our democracy.  They have gathered a formidable group of theatre artists\, young performers\, chefs\, and community organizers to bring my journalistic research on voter suppression to diverse audiences in new ways\, and get them seriously engaged in the urgent issues haunting the very core of our democracy. This FREE evening at La Mama is a dinner\, a party\, a call to action\, a gathering\, a survival guide for troubling times. There’s documentary\, live music\, performance\, food; and most of all\, there’s deep and pluralistic conversation. Together\, they will examine historical and contemporary voter suppression and chew on the upcoming 2020 census–all in an effort to understand ‘who counts’ in America\, and how we might come to count on one another in the struggle for democracy\, justice\, and a more perfect union. \n  \nLearning to Engage in Conversations for AI Systems. People are interacting with artificial intelligence (AI) systems more every day. AI systems play roles in call centers\, mental health support\, and workplace team structures. As AI systems enter these human environments\, they  inevitably will need to interact with people in order to achieve their goals. Most AI systems to date\, however\, have focused entirely on performance and rarely\, if at all\, on their social interactions with people\, and how to balance the AI’s goals against their human collaborators’ goals. Success requires learning quickly  how to interact with people in the real world. Stanford Computer Scientists Ranjay Krishna and Apoorva Dornadula were awarded a Magic Grant to create a conversational AI agent on Instagram\, where it will learn to ask engaging questions of people about the photos they upload. Its goal will be to simultaneously learn new facts about the visual world by asking questions\, and learn how to interact with people around their photos in order to expand its knowledge of those concepts. \n  \nLineage. \nLineage is an artificially intelligent engine that enables the exploration of digitized visual archives in a human-like manner. With Lineage\, the user can input any image\, and get in return visually similar images from thousands of years of art and design. The returned images are not identical to the input but rather give the user the visual context in which it exists\, allowing for a deeper understanding of the input image. Lineage uses the publicly available databases of art and design institutions\, museums\, archives and libraries. It eschews verbal\, keyword-based search\, preferring a visual\, open-ended\, non-definitive result schema. Its similarity algorithm relies on colors\, shapes\, patterns and their layered combinations\, mimicking the way humans look at objects\, and encouraging serendipitous connections across time periods\, location of origin\, creator and mediums: clothing\, craft\, furniture\, architecture\, graphic and industrial design\, visual arts and so on. \n  \n  \nNeverEnding 360. \nNews organizations like The New York Times and The Guardian have experimented with fast-paced\, serial production schedules for 360 videos\, hoping to prove out the medium. While 360 videos offer viewers with more freedom to explore scenes in a story\, that freedom also poses an added challenge to directors and creators. Because users can be looking anywhere at any time\, they might be looking in the wrong direction while important events or actions in a story take place\, outside the user’s field of view. By contrast\, Virtual Reality environments can address this problem by controlling the animation of objects\, perhaps having a scene pause or loop until the user is looking in the right direction. With her Magic Grant\, Computer Scientist Sean Liu will consider how to adapt these strategies to 360 videos\, providing better storytelling without compromising the immersive feeling of these videos. \n  \n  \nParaFrame. \nStories come in many forms\, and in a wide range of detail — from casual anecdotes told among friends\, to epic Hollywood blockbusters\, heavily engineered and rendered in vivid high-definition. But regardless of how they are told\, great stories do not simply appear fully formed in the mind; they are inspired by the work of others\, crafted with familiar tools\, and refined through iteration. The Magic Grant team of Computer Scientists Abe Davis and Mackenzie Leake will provide users with tools that focus on the construction of a narrative (specifically\, through the writing of a script or the posing of rough character sketches) and use algorithms to search the Internet for visuals that can be repurposed or remixed to fit that narrative. In doing so\, their work will offer an accessible way for untrained users to learn from and build on the work of experts. \n  \nWhen Deportation is a Death Sentence. \nSarah Stillman\, Staff Writer at The New Yorker\, will lead a team to build the first-ever searchable database of deaths-by-deportation\, in a manner that is empirically rigorous\, narratively engaging\, and visually stunning. The team will merge cutting-edge data journalism (pursued alongside foreign correspondence in refugee camps\, migrant shelters\, mortuaries) with  technological innovation (focusing on the aesthetic power of the mobile experience) to build a practical but elegant database that turns their massive spreadsheet into an unshakable story. The team includes the powerful data visualization expertise of Giorgia Lupi\, co-founder of Accurat. They will make their findings and ongoing investigation accessible through a website that amplifies the very best of what Lupi calls “data humanism.” In Stillman’s words\, “Absent this new effort to bring these data to light\, the stories will remain buried\, unspoken\, and unaccounted-for in the public record.”

SUMMARY:A Science-Media Meetup for Climate Stories With Impact
DESCRIPTION:The climate crisis poses a unique challenge to journalism. It touches every part of society\, from politics and business to sports and culture\, yet in many situations\, we barely mention it. Journalists can help to change this. There is a climate story for every beat: Facebook’s new server farms are being built in the Arctic\, not the desert\, as the company anticipates rising temperatures; Wine regions are shifting around the world; Qualifying events for the Tokyo Olympics this summer were shortened due to the extreme heat. To meet the challenge\, we need journalists with diverse expertise and perspectives to normalize talking about climate change in every part of the news. \nOn Thursday 26 September\, in the midst of Climate Week\, The Brown Institute\, in partnership with the Earth Institute at Columbia University\, invite you to take part in an evening event exploring new ways to convey challenges and choices around climate change with greater engagement and impact. The evening will begin with a conversation between Somini Sengupta\, a New York Times reporter covering social disparities in environmental impacts\, Moses Shumow\, documentary filmmaker and Associate Professor at Emerson College\, and John Upton\, who’s building partnerships between local newsrooms and Climate Central\, a prize-winning data-driven climate-communication hub\, to create locally-relevant stories around global warming. Together\, they will help to unveil the challenges to reporting on a changing climate and how the beat might need to adapt. \nFollowing their conversation\, journalism students will mix with environmental studies and earth science researchers\, PhD candidates\, and post-docs to explore how to incorporate a climate angle in stories found throughout the media landscape — a crash course on how journalists can learn from and work alongside experts to better convey consequential science in ways that serve community needs. The evening will conclude with a review of the evening’s discoveries and a call to action from Ros Donald\, PhD candidate in Communications at Columbia Journalism School and Andy Revkin\, a three-decades-and counting veteran climate journalist and founding director of the Initiative on Communication Innovation & Impact at the Earth Institute. \nRegister at https://climate-reporting.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:2018 Brown Institute Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Maneesh Agrawala and Mark Hansen cordially invite you to the Brown Institute for Media Innovation 2018 Showcase! \nJoin us for a reception and exhibition of our 2017-2018 projects. \nOctober 5\, 2018 – 5:00pm\nat the Brown Institute\nat Stanford University \n \nDescriptions of the projects can be seen below. The event will take place on the lawn adjacent to the Brown Institute\, located in the inner courtyard of the Gates Building (353 Serra Mall) at Stanford University. The closest parking structures to the Gates Building are Parking Structure 2 and Roble Parking Garage. Parking is unrestricted after 4:00PM.\n\n\n \nCamera Observa. In the modern\, fast-paced news environment where video is in high demand\, it is essential to capture high-quality video quickly and easily. Even for professional news teams\, consistently producing high-quality footage is a major challenge. Yet it is essential to get a satisfactory first capture due to the ephemeral nature of news. Camera Observa proposes using a 360° camera technology to capture the context of the scene (such as lighting) to help reduce the many burdens of capturing video. Led by Jane E and Ohad Fried at Stanford Computer Science\, the Camera Observa platform will provide in-camera feedback on quality of lighting in a video frame and suggest orientations of the subject to achieve various image styles; capture important interactions happening off-camera; and record additional B-roll. \nCampaign. Campaign is a strategy game that takes place in an imagined nation whose leaders are up for reelection. You are a campaign manager who must persuade the fictional characters in the game to vote for your candidate. You can learn more by solving logic puzzles\, or by “convincing” the characters to share data in exchange for a reward. With enough information\, you even unlock a Cambridge Analytica-style psychological “archetype” for a character. Campaign is a game about politics\, privacy\, data sharing and micro-targeting. The project is led by Laurent Bastien Corbeil\, Rashida Kamal\, Kevin Fei Sun and Eileen Townsend\, all members of the class of 2017 or 2018 at the Columbia Journalism School. It will be funded by the Brown Institute and supported\, in part\, by ProPublica. \nDark Inquiry. Emerging from the critical practice and political commitments of digital publication the New Inquiry\, Dark Inquiry is a project-driven alliance of technologists\, artists\, writers\, and investigative researchers convened to to deploy a series of situated\, confrontational\, rhetorically-deliberate experiments that expose the anti-human logic of dominant technological power\, and demonstrate the possibilities beyond it. Dark Inquiry calls these experiments “rhetorical software\,” (a game\, an app\, a bot\, an API or some other creative use of technology) that produce critique through experience and interaction rather than written language. One of their outputs\, which will be exhibited is BailBloc\, a cryptocurrency scheme against bail\, with intentions of creating new conversations about bail reform. \nData Interrupted. The 1994 Rwandan genocide left millions dead or displaced\, and a society in ruins. There is one consequence of the genocide that has gone unreported: the near-total collapse of Rwanda’s ability to gather data\, including that related to the weather. Data\, Interrupted is a story about a country’s struggles to replace a generation of missing data and to try to understand and manage climate uncertainty. The project is led by Francesco Fiondella and Catherine Vaughan\, with the International Research Institute for Climate and Society\, and Amir Imani\, a student in the Data Science Institute at Columbia University. \n  \n \nDataShare. Investigators around the world are all facing the same problem: each holds a wealth of information\, but the sensitive documents and data are locked behind their organization’s firewall. There are stories and investigations that could be done\, if only these data collections were interoperable. DataShare allows for valuable knowledge about people and companies to be “sieved” into indexes and shared securely within a network of trusted individuals\, fostering unforeseen collaboration and prompting new investigations that uncover corruption and abuse of power. The DataShare team includes Julien Martin and others from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. It will be funded by the Brown Institute and supported by PBS’ investigative series FRONTLINE. \n \nEsper. With the advent of cheap consumer photography and the rise of ubiquitous imaging devices like street cameras and drones\, large video collections are of increasing interest and availability to journalists and academics. Video streaming websites like YouTube and LiveLeak present rich datasets covering both high activity events (protests\, conflict zones) as well as more mundane affairs (traffic\, C-SPAN). For example\, with video streams of a protest\, a journalist might ask: how many people attended the protest? When did someone start speaking? Esper is a system that facilitates exploration of large video collections by enabling researchers to easily organize and annotate their videos at scale. Esper is led by Will Crichton at Stanford Computer Science. \nMeasuring Public Perception. News is no longer made through self-contained works of reporting\, but instead often emerges as an ongoing dialog between facts\, readers\, and multiple media sources. For every news story published\, thousands of people will react via comments or social media\, and it will often be re-reported by other media outlets (from small blogs to major newspapers). To understand the true impact of a story\, journalists must understand the substance of the discussion it inspires. The goal of this project is to create tools that allow journalists to measure these reactions at scale. The Measuring Public Perception team consists of Ethan Fast and Binbin Chen from Stanford Computer Science. \nVisual Beat. Today’s journalists are tasked with informing a public that is used to being entertained. News has to compete with the rest of the Internet\, where good reporting often drowns in a sea of cat videos and click-bait. In this challenging landscape\, news organizations have to adapt new strategies to keep readers\, viewers\, and listeners engaged. Visual Beat will build tools that take audio/visual content curated by journalists\, and transform it into alignment with music to create a song-and-dance like presentation. This editing device could be a powerful way to engage viewers and draw them to a story\, without asking journalists to change the way they choose content. The Visual Beat team is led by Abe Davis and Sean Liu from Stanford Computer Science. \nWe Can. It is said that New York is a city for only the very rich or the very poor. As the cost of living rises\, thousands of people learn to see treasures where the majority sees trash. They call themselves canners\, or lateros\, or hui shou ren depending on their origin. They make a living redeeming empty cans and bottles for five cents a piece\, thanks to a 1982 State law commonly referred to as the Bottle Bill. There is no accurate data on the activity of canning\, but people involved in the sector claim that more than 10\,000 people pick up empty cans on the streets of New York to make some money. We mapped the experience of eight of them. We Can is a project by Francesca Berardi\, an Italian journalist based in New York\, and Grga Basic\, a cartographer. The project can be seen on canners.nyc.
