Register for MisinfoCon and MozFest 2022
We have news, hacks and hackers! MisinfoCon, our misinformation-busting sister organization, is returning for its first (online) gathering since the pandemic.
MisinfoCon @ MozFest Plaza will take place as part of MozFest 2022 early next month. Tickets are free and available today!
The week ahead:
- Nigeria is sharing tools and techniques for finding data
- Dar es Salaam is verifying videos and busting deep fakes
Worth a read:
- The Partnership on AI reached out to nine journalists and other media stakeholders for their thoughts on the future of AI in journalism. The respondents shared that AI may help with context, personalization, but also, as Hacks/Hackers Researcher-at-Large Connie Moon Sehat put it, "authoritarianism."
- Citelearn, an open source project developed through our related WikiCred initiative, helped flag "citation needed" statements on Wikipedia. Expanding it to journalistic or scholarly articles, though, would require a shift in thinking from collating existing research to citing research to form new statements.
- Data visualization has always been considered art, at least in some circles. The LatAm Journalism Review spoke with data journalists, infographers and designers to understand how Latin American journalists are using art to help tell stories.
