This is perhaps our most experimental event in terms of “distance” from journalistic practice. Augmented reality (AR) provides a view of an event or phenomenon that is enhanced, “augmented,” with computer-generated elements, perhaps responding to sensor input (sound, video of the event, GPS coordinates) or triggers computed through computer vision tools operating on the scene.
The storytelling capacity with AR is enormous, although the toolsets are still a bit hard to use. Join members from Etsy and the New York Times to get up-and-running with augmented reality, and spend the day building a story prototype utilizing the technology. Apply for the workshop

RSVP HERE What would a news organization look like if it was optimized for user trust? Getting there will take innovation, but not primarily the kind that involves new tech. Jay Rosen will spell out what he means by "optimizing for trust," and suggest the kind of innovation required, much of which involves new forms
For the second Journocoders NYC, we’ll be exploring the web-based coding notebook service Observable. This is a fairly new online platform, but Observable notebooks are already being used to produce lightweight interactive explainers and live code samples. If you’ve ever used Jupyter Notebooks, Observable may feel familiar – except that it’s for JavaScript code instead

Journalist and science fiction writer Cory Doctorow will talk about the millennia-old social compact of the book, and the arbitrary renegotiation of that contract in the age of ebooks, where prior restraint, restrictions on lending, donation and gifting, and invasive, surveillant technologies have become the norm. He will investigate how technology and license agreements have
Beyond “I agree”: A democratic technology, without Big Tech. RSVP at brwn.co/cd-register. The techlash marks the end of complacency over Big Tech: in a single instant, states have gone from being completely blase about the risks of a monopolized digital world run by high-handed CEOs who answer only to their shareholders, to being certain that
Knowing Together is a workshop and exhibition about collaborative 3D photography and embodied experience hosted and supported by the 2018 Myers Fund at EdLab Teachers College in collaboration with visiting artist Rosalie Yu. The project asks how community members sharing a memorable experience and learning a new technology can create something more expressive and personally meaningful with 3D technology
