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

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 - 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

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Natural Language Processing
DESCRIPTION:Presenter\nAllison Parrish\, NYU \nWorkshop Description\nMuch like other forms of data\, documents and text provide enormous potential as a form of data to be analyzed and visualized. This workshop will introduce and discuss the ways in which textual materials (news articles\, government records\, social media\, and other primary sources) can be worked with as data in creative and insightful ways. Participants in this workshop will be exposed to some common techniques for textual analysis and representation of documents common in contemporary practice. Participants will be led through creative exercises around the intersection of computation and language as a way to gain familiarity and comfort with this medium. The workshop will involve a bit of programming in Python to allow participants to work with\, visualize\, and generate text in interesting ways. \nRegister for the Workshop

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar: Drone Photography by Josh Haner and Meaghan Looram\, New York Times
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday evening for our last Transparency Series seminar featuring Josh Haner\, staff photographer and the senior editor for photo technology\, in conversation with Meaghan Looram\, the Director of Photography at The New York Times. They will discuss previous drone project they’ve worked on together\, and the role of drones in Journalism. As with Virtual Reality\, drone journalism offers opportunities in data collection and visual representation afforded by few other technologies that are within the grasp of a typical newsroom. Drones\, or unmanned aerial systems\, provide a perspective that is truly unique. It seems to be good for providing a sense of scale (moving from the ground to a significant vantage point above some event or phenomenon). Drones can provide access to regions that are otherwise impossible to film. The artful\, informative deployment of drone photography and its role in journalism is the subject of this Transparency Series event. \nJosh Haner is a Staff Photographer and the Senior Editor for Photo Technology at The New York Times. In 2014\, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for a photo essay documenting the recovery of a Boston Marathon bombing victim. \nMeaghan Looram is the Director of Photography at The New York Times. A graduate of Stanford University\, Ms. Looram has been an editor at The Times since 2005. She oversees The New York Times’ photographic coverage\, the news organization’s staff of 40 photo editors and 15 staff photographers\, as well as many of its most ambitious visual projects\, including “A Year at War”\, “One in 8 Million”\, “Carbon’s Casualties” and the annual Year in Pictures. \nFor registration and more information\, go to transparency.brown.columbia.edu \n  \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Workshop: Reporting on Devices with Consumer Reports
DESCRIPTION:Most consumer advocacy is based on a definition of consumer rights anchored on two things: value and safety. While these issues are perennial concerns for consumers\, they don’t capture the larger threats posed by the 21st C marketplace: reductions in individual agency and control. Amazon\, Google\, Facebook\, and the other corporate powers offer products that don’t pose traditional ‘safety’ threats. In this workshop we start with the hypothesis that the consumer movement has mostly ‘solved for the 20th C.’ Products are better\, safer\, and cheaper than ever. That what we need\, instead\, is a new framework anchored in contemporary threats to agency and control. And from this framework\, new models for product ratings\, consumer decision-making\, and so on\, for evaluating network-connected devices and “apps.” We will explore this new terrain through the lens of Consumer Reports’ new Digital Standard. We will apply both technical as well as analytical tools to examine how to report on connected devices and “apps.” \nApply for the workshop at transparency.brown.columbia.edu.

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Workshop: Voice Interfaces with Washington Post & NPR
DESCRIPTION:Authoring experiences for a voice assistant or smart speaker is a combination of several distinct skillsets. Some conversational interfaces are driven by keywords\, depending on users stating specific terms\, while others involve artificial intelligence to create more natural conversations around content. The content itself is a product of both editorial work as well as programming effort to implement the conversation in code. In this workshop\, students will prototype a journalistic application for a smart speaker. We will focus on Amazon’s Alexa platform and use simple graphical interfaces to design content delivery. Emphasis will be on developing insights into what makes a good conversation\, reformatting and focusing on journalism that translates well to the platform.

SUMMARY:Transparency Series Seminar: Voice Interfaces with Joseph Price of Washington Post and Tommy O'Keefe\, Vincent Farquharson & Nara Kasbergen of NPR
DESCRIPTION:Voice assistants are changing the way people search for and consume content. By one estimate\, half of the adults in the US make use of voice interfaces — for now\, mostly on their smartphones. But with the steady improvement of voice recognition\, smart speakers like Amazon’s Echo\, Google Home\, Apple’s HomePod constitute new platforms for accessing information. How will journalism fare in this new ecosystem? Obviously\, a direct reading of news stories written for the print or the web will tax the capabilities of current speech synthesis — not to mention the patience of a listener. In this discussion\, we will get an overview of the current voice experience ecosystem and hear about the voice promised land: why voice interfaces are so powerful and alluring and what the future will look like. We will also hear about first hand experiences from folks at The Washington Post and NPR. \nFor registration and more information\, go to transparency.brown.columbia.edu.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Amanda Cox from the Upshot at the New York Times who will discuss polling and its importance in the political races. As the 2018 midterm election nears\, we pore over opinion polls looking for subtle (or not so subtle) clues about how things will fare on November 6. When looking at the race for the house and for the senate\, polls vary wildly. Which polls are right? Or reliable? To journalists\, of course\, the polls themselves aren’t the story\, they help tell us a story. The narrative power of polls extends far beyond a single number on a given day. Taken collectively and in combination with other data\, we can tell deep stories about the nature of our public’s opinions. \nFor registration and more information\, go to transparency.brown.columbia.edu
