SUMMARY:Media Innovation Lectures
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this series is to introduce students interested in Computer Science\, Engineering and Media to what’s possible and probable when it comes to media innovation. Speakers from multiple disciplines and industry will discuss a range of topics in the context of evolving media with a focus on the technical trends\, opportunities and challenges surfacing in the unfolding media ecosystem. Speakers will underscore the need to innovate to survive in the media and information industries. Highlights include: \n10/15: INNOVATING WITH DATA / Jeremy Bowers\, Director of Engineering\, The Washington Post \nBowers sits at the intersection of news and engineering and will discuss the Post’s plans for political data projects including election results\, congressional votes and campaign finance.  \n11/5 – INNOVATING WITH AI /Xiao Ma\, Director of Engineering\, Medium  \nMa will go “under the hood” to explain how Medium thinks about AI + media and discuss the evolution of the company’s powerful personalization algorithms. \n11/12: INNOVATING WITH PLATFORMS /Stacy-Marie Ishmael\, Senior Editor\, Apple News \nIshmael is a veteran journalist who previously worked at The New York Times and Buzzfeed. In this talk she will discuss the ethics of platforms\, focusing on why platforms say they are not publishers\, the conflation of neutrality with objectivity\, the power of deliberate user experience decisions to shape the contours of speech and  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Points Unknown Mapping Module I: Intro to Mapping / QGIS
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. \nPoints Unknown will train journalism students in GIS and mapping techniques\, and will prompt them to ask questions such as: What data are made public? What do they say about life in the city? How are neighborhoods rendered in data and what are the consequences of those representations? What undiscovered stories can be found in visualizing geographies of data? The module will focus on introducing core methods to engaging with / producing both static\, annotated\, and web-based maps — and will provide an introduction to spatial data. Spatial training paired with journalism can serve as a missing “integrator” of data and the real world—providing lessons that travel beyond the boroughs of New York. \nIn Fall 2019\, the Brown Institute will conduct a set of four workshops focused on introducing mapping as a tool for discovery and expression. Details of each of the sessions can be seen below: \nWeek 1 – Intro to Mapping / QGIS\nWeek 2 – Intro to Annotated Maps / Illustrator\nWeek 3 – Intro to Web Maps / Mapbox.js\nWeek 4 – Intro to Satellite Imagery / Google Earth Engine \nYou are not required to attend all sessions\, but it is strongly encouraged as many of the core concepts travel across the technologies.

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Reporting on Twitter
DESCRIPTION:Presenter\nCraig Silverman\, BuzzFeed \nWorkshop Description\nTwitter is not just a source of updates from friends and happenings in the local community. Instead\, it is a dense network embedded with narratives of how the world is structured\, including how information flows and spreads\, both within and outside of communities. The platform is host to policy announcements from the President of the United States\, and demonstrated in the previous election to be a hotbed of mis-/dis-information. Therefore\, it is imperative that we\, as journalists\, know how to effectively question and interrogate the platform. This workshop will spend the day teaching students how to report on Twitter\, understanding the network\, individuals\, communities\, and how information propogates and trends. \nRegister for the Workshop
