SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Artificial Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Presenter\nJohn Keefe\, Quartz \nWorkshop Description\nData\, code and algorithms are changing systems of power in our world\, often without sufficient critical assessment or accountability. Today’s journalists need to understand how these forces operate\, engaging the underlying computational tools and techniques. At the same time\, the ways journalists understand the world and communicate their observations to audiences are also being reshaped by the abundance of data and accessible software to surface stories. Reporters today have an incredible variety of data to work with – from a spreadsheet of Census data\, to a collection of Tweets\, to frames of videos\, to a compendium of online political ads. This is the raw material of “computational journalism.” The tools for expressing structure in these rich data sources\, for finding and telling stories\, can be grouped under the name “machine learning.” Through this 1-day workshop\, students will work with John Keefe of Quartz to explore the possibilities of Machine Learning as a form of reporting. \nRegister for the Workshop

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Data Visualization
DESCRIPTION:Presenter\nThe Pudding \nWorkshop Description\nGraphical (or pictorial) presentations of data have become an almost essential part of journalistic practice. Data visualization helps us see patterns in data\, and is an important tool for finding stories. Also\, outlets like The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and FiveThirtyEight are publishing data visualizations that push the idea of story telling\, creating new data-driven ways to inform and entertain. In this day-long workshop\, students will review some basic data visualization skills–guiding you through the design process. Students will work with charts and annotation layers and learn to exploit what’s unique about data. During the day\, students will also help you think critically about visualizations\, making them a better consumer of data graphics. \nRegister for the Workshop
