LIFE WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND AI

Undermining the Public's Trust

AI Imagery such as deepfakes, I firmly believe both undermine the public's trust and also take credibility away from the public's trust. Based on many of the journalistic integrity principles I have learned from throughout my time at Elon. Though tools such as data wrapper and diagram.io will be extremely beneficial for people in newsrooms who are data, enterprise, and investigative centric, I feel, as the Associated Press says that 20% (in my opinion preferably more) should be done by humans.

Best Practices Going Forward for Regulating Artificial Intelligence

With over approximately 2,000 new AI tools and platforms come out on a monthly basis, to me it seems that there is no possible way that 1 individual, government or regulatory organization could possibly be able to keep up with and keep track of what is good or bad from a utilitarianism perspective.

🌎📰 Climate Crisis: More Than a Beat, It’s Every Story 📢🔥

🌍 Climate Change Is Not Just a Beat—It’s the Whole Story

Why has climate change, despite decades of science and reporting, failed to drive consistent cultural or journalistic urgency?

Our latest blog explores this critical question, unpacking why climate change coverage has remained siloed and how journalists are now pushing to integrate it across every aspect of reporting—from politics and public health to business and inequality.

📰 “The Climate Crisis Is a Story for Every Beat” challenges traditional newsroom boundaries and calls for a fundamental shift in how we understand and communicate the climate emergency.

🔗 Read the full piece here: https://analyticsjobs.in/the-climate-crisis-is-a-story-for-every-beat/

Let’s start seeing climate not as an isolated issue, but as the defining lens through which today’s most urgent stories must be told.

I think that the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary should join together and overtake Poland as the sixth largest economy in the EU.

"With the proliferation of available data, it’s become more common for newsrooms to have access to datasets that contain more story leads than they can meaningfully pursue themselves. Collaborative data journalism allows multiple newsrooms to find and tell those stories, make the most out of large datasets and, ultimately, increase the chances that their work will have impact."

The history of data journalism

The history of data journalism

  Still, only a few journalists used these techniques until the mid-1980s, when Elliot Jaspin in the U.S. received recognition at The Providence Journal Bulletin for analysing databases for stories, including those on dangerous school bus drivers and a political scandal involving home loans. Jaspin, who had won a Pulitzer Prize for traditional reporting on labour union corruption, also had taken…

A lot of people ask me: Pie Chart Pirate, which programming language do you use for making these videos? I sometimes jokingly say: “I use R matey”. But this is not true, I prefer to use python. By • @piechartpirate Have you ever wondered which programming language is the most popular in general? Look no further! This video shows the programming language market share between 2012 and 2021. These values should be taken with a grain of sold as they only represent public GitHub repositories. I can imagine private commercial code might use the C languages more often. #programming #computerscience #python #javascript #ruby #C #C++ #java #data #datavisualization #datavisualizations #dataviz #infographic #graphicdesign #editorial #visualdesign #design #infographie #datajournalism #digitaldesign #datavis #diagram #datajournalism #datavisualization Tools: python, pandas, tkinter Sources: madnight github https://www.instagram.com/p/CRhDIrgjvzh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Great read from @WABE90.1. Excerpt: On @Data4BlackLives: In 1900, Du Bois led a team of students and alumni from Atlanta University (now @CAU1988) in designing a set of data portraits for the Exposition Universelle, a world’s fair in Paris. The fair was a global stage on which nations could exhibit and celebrate their pride and achievements. For the exposition, Du Bois curated the “American Negro” exhibit, which included artifacts, texts and images aimed at refuting these imperialist ideas by showing everyday African-American life and progress. Among the images were 63 hand-drawn data portraits designed and created by Du Bois and his team. Rusert and fellow @UMass Amherst professor Whitney Battle-Baptiste, who is also the director of the @WEBDuboisCenter at the university, have co-edited a book compiling the portraits titled “W.E.B. Du Bois’s Data Portraits: Visualizing Black America.” Using neat, meticulous lines, bright colors and interesting shapes, the portraits detail everything from the occupations and conjugal conditions of African-Americans in Georgia to the income and expenditure of black families in Atlanta. The portraits were coupled with images of African-Americans in the rural South who were entrepreneurs, homeowners and students at historically black colleges and universities — things she says African-Americans often weren’t associated with at that time.

HOW TO CREATE EXCEL PIVOT TABLES 

It isn’t rare to find data locked in PDF that needs to be sifted through and analyzed in Pivot tables. If you’re just getting started with pivot tables, get a close look at how to create a pivot table in Excel in our latest post.

Lisa Charlotte Rost explains the psychological, social and technological reasons why none of us will ever fully believe all the facts. And how the kind of facts and the context in which we encounter them makes us believe or ignore them. How can we all believe more true things? And how can we communicate data so that it convinces somebody? She looks at lots of examples from data communication, especially from data visualisation and data journalism.

Datos poderosos (y mezcales): ciencia de datos, periodismo y datos cívicos.

Si nos has acompañado en las ediciones de #DatosYMezcales, sabrás que la diversidad y colaboración de personas y equipos interesados en datos fortalece proyectos y hace la magia.  En esta ocasión unimos esfuerzos con The Data Pub y Chicas Poderosas y preparamos una edición especial para festejar la unión del talento de tres comunidades dateras. #DatosPoderosos combinó ciencia de datos, periodismo y datos cívicos. Aquí te contamos los proyectos presentados en Datos Poderosos:

1. La guerra por el agua - Nuevas narrativas en el periodismo de investigación.

Por Ojo Público | Perú

En la constante búsqueda de nuevos formatos y narrativas para contar una historia, Ojo Público - medio de periodismo de investigación peruano - presenta La guerra por el agua, cómic interactivo  que narra el conflicto minero y agrícola al que se enfrenta la comunidad del Valle del Tambo (Arequipa, Perú) y su lucha por proteger sus recursos hídricos. Presentado por Nelly Luna

2. Torre de control - Datos para impulsar la transparencia y rendición de cuentas

Por: Proyecto PODER, Quién es Quié Wiki | México Torre de control es una plataforma para transparentar los datos de contrataciones públicas relacionados con la construcción del Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de Ciudad de México.  Su objetivo es investigar y fortalecer la rendición de cuentas a través del uso de datos. En este proyecto el análisis y la visualización de datos revela irregularidades en las licitaciones y particiṕación de personas involucradas en la política con empresas relacionadas.

Presentado por Eduard Martín-Borregón

#PeriodismoDeDatos arroja que 94.16% del gasto total que representará el @NvoAeropuertoMx lo ganaron 12 empresas https://t.co/aPaijxZeMY pic.twitter.com/PfS7MsqxTh

3. Portal de Transparencia Presupuestaria: datos para verificar el gasto público.

Por: TPresupuestaria | México El portal de transparencia presupuestaria consolida la información de presupuesto y gasto público federal. Adicionalmente, cuenta con plataformas especializadas como la de Obra Pública en la que se puede revisar el estado del gasto y proyecto de toda obra pública realizada con fondos federales en el país. 

El portal de transparencia presupuestaria @TPresupuestaria en Datos Poderosos, sin duda el mejor portal de datos de México... #DataLove pic.twitter.com/zhs3Iy7X6k
