SUMMARY:Mapping Module 4 – Annotating a Map in Illustrator
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. With the popularization of cartography\, anyone with a computer and an internet connection can make a map\, yet in news organizations\, the practices of cartography and GIS have remained largely in domain of engineering and graphics teams\, not with reporters. \nThis module will teach journalists how to make use of spatial data. Using tools common to all graphics desks\, students will learn how to find and tell stories using maps. The module is five weeks and will cover everything from spatial analysis to map design. It will take place 10am-1pm every Friday\, from February 13 – March 13. \nRegister for the workshop at brwn.co/map19. Please direct any questions to Michael Krisch (mkrisch@columbia.edu) or Juan Saldarriaga (juan.saldarriaga@columbia.edu).

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Discussion with Andrew Zolli & Trevor Hammond\, Planet
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, 3/6 at 12pm for a lunchtime discussion with Andrew Zolli from Planet\, a satellite image provider. Remote sensing dates back to the 1858\, when cameras were carried by balloons to take aerial images of the earth. Building on these early capture techniques\, satellites and advancements in image capture have enabled a new era of remote sensing. For decades\, working with satellite imagery was cumbersome and slow. But new tools\, such as those developed by Planet\, make monitoring easier than ever before. \nPlanet’s mission is to image the entire Earth every day and make global change visible\, accessible\, and actionable. Whether it is tracking deforestation at home or abroad\, measuring impacts of natural disasters\, or tracking the progress of urbanization\, daily monitoring of satellite imagery has incredible potential to change how journalists make sense of our world. Join us to learn about Planet’s platform — which is free to journalists — and learn about potential opportunities for partnership.

SUMMARY:Measuring Crime: Behind the Statistics
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In 1915\, the Chicago City Council asked statistician Edith Abbott to report “upon the frequency of murder\, assault\, burglary\, robbery\, theft and like crimes in Chicago.” Her report\, drawing on published and unpublished statistics from the courts\, probation office\, house of correction\, and police department\, set the stage for subsequent collections and evaluations of crime statistics. Her conclusions—that statistics’ quality depend on the systems of data collection and that multiple sources of data are needed to study crime—hold today. \nDrawing on Abbott’s insights\, I set out eight questions to ask about a statistic before you rely on it. I then go through these questions for three sources of statistics about sexual assault: the Uniform Crime Reports\, the National Crime Victimization Survey\, and the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey. \nBio: Sharon Lohr is a vice president and senior statistician at Westat in Rockville\, Maryland. Previously\, she was dean’s distinguished professor of statistics at Arizona State University. Her research has focused on survey sampling\, hierarchical models\, small-area estimation\, missing data\, and design of experiments. She is a fellow of the American Statistical Association and an elected member of the International Statistical Institute. She was the inaugural recipient of the Washington Statistical Society’s Gertrude M. Cox Statistics Award for contributions to the practice of statistics and a recipient of the society’s Morris Hansen Lecture Award. She was recently selected to present the Deming Lecture at the Joint Statistical Meetings. She has a Ph.D. in statistics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
