Join us for an evening discussion between Kevin Connor, LittleSis and Frederik Obermaier, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist from Suddeutsche Zeitung. They will discuss networks and the role they can play in journalistic reporting and communication. Data journalists often find that the complexity or the relationships between the various entities they are investigating force them out of simple
Graph databases are optimized for working with complex and connected data. Social media data is a great example of a complex dataset where the connections in the data are often as important as the discrete data points, making it a great use case for applying network analysis using a graph database. In this hands-on workshop

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,
