SRCCON is announced
It's back, hacks and hackers! SRCCON has been announced for 2021.
Its organizer, OpenNews, is also offering scholarships to help attend this or other events.
Happening this week:
- London is talking about collaboration between reporters and devs
Worth a read:
- GIJN took a look at data visualization throughout 2020 to see what patterns and trends emerged, like a pivot to scrollytelling and animation as well as increased collaboration among scientists, epidemiologists and journalists.
- When brainstorming about how to visualize a set of data, it can be limiting to only work within code or third party viz platforms; sketching can help journalists understand their data better and think of innovative ways to represent it.
- It’s not just radical media sites and social media echochambers that are spreading disinformation, it can come straight from search engines like Google too.
