Hello, hacks and hackers! The National Association of Hispanic Journalists, based in the US, is holding the signature week of its five-week-long conference.
Conference sessions are being broadcast online in English and Spanish, and it's not too late to register.
Worth a read:
- Data visualization can be a matter of life and death when used to make decisions - like when a misleading table led NASA to go through with the fatal Challenger launch.
- Though they can sometimes oversimplify important topics, news orgs around the world are starting to utilize Instagram slides and Twitter cards to convey complex stories in a more digestible, accessible way.
- With the recent reveal of a U.S. intelligence report on UFOs, media orgs are finding ways to balance conspiracy theories with facts when reporting on them.
