SUMMARY:Statistics Breakfast with Mark Hansen (Thursdays in February and March 2021)
DESCRIPTION:Some of the biggest stories of 2020 were statistical. We tracked exponential curves as COVID-19 spread across the country. On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day\, we reassessed the pace of climate change. And after the 2020 Election\, the country debated whether any of the then-President’s claims about voter fraud could be true\, attempting to estimate the true number of missing or incorrectly counted ballots. In each story\, an increase in observation and measurement\, in data\, helped us understand little more about our current situation and predict where things might go. Statistics\, the science of data and inferences we make from data\, was and is at the center of these stories. The Brown Institute will be hosting a series of “Statistics Breakfasts” to introduce CJS students and alumni to provide a basic grounding in statistics reasoning. We assume no background whatsoever — this material is not difficult\, but is extremely important for journalists to understand. Interested? Please contact Mark Hansen\, markh@columbia.edu. Also\, if there are topics you’d like to see covered please drop me an email — if there is enough interest\, we can run the breakfasts for longer than 4 weeks. Perhaps you can be a presenter as well\, bringing your questions that the group can help to reason through.

SUMMARY:Applying Emerging Technologies In Service of Journalism- with members of the New York Times R&D team
DESCRIPTION:Emerging technologies\, particularly within computer vision\, photogrammetry and spatial computing\, are unlocking new forms of storytelling for journalists to help people understand the world around them. In this talk\, members of the R&D team at The New York Times talk about their process for researching and developing new capabilities built atop emerging research. In particular\, hear how they are embracing photogrammetry and spatial computing to create new storytelling techniques that allow a reader to experience an event as close to reality as possible. Learn about the process of collecting photos\, generating 3D models\, editing\, and technologies used to scale up to millions of readers. The team will also share their vision for these technologies and journalism\, their ethical considerations along the way\, and a research wishlist that would accelerate their work.  \nIn its 169 year history\, The New York Times has evolved with new technologies\, publishing its first photo in 1896 with the rise of cameras\, introducing the world’s first computerized news retrieval system in 1972 with the rise of the computer\, and launching a website in 1996 with the rise of the internet. Since then\, the pace of innovation has accelerated alongside the rise of smartphones\, cellular networks\, and other new technologies. The Times now has the world’s most popular daily podcast\, a new weekly video series\, and award-winning interactive graphics storytelling. Join us for a discussion about how our embrace of emerging technologies is helping us push the boundaries of journalism. \nSpeakers: Members of The New York Times R&D Team \nThe New York Times Research and Development team applies emerging technologies in service of our company’s mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world. \nUsing new technologies and formats\, we develop technical capabilities for our newsroom and new forms of storytelling for our readers. As part of our method\, we evaluate emerging trends in media and technology and forecast how they might play out over the next two to three years. Once we identify an opportunity\, we dedicate a team to explore the space and develop products in collaboration with other parts of our organization.\nWe’re a multidisciplinary team of journalists\, creative technologists\, designers and engineers. \nRegister to Attend
