Introducing the new Data Journalism Handbook
Tumblr media
Simon Rogers
Dec 7
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Interested in data journalism and where it’s going? Today is the launch of the first part of the new Data Journalism Handbook.
We announced that we would be supporting a new version of the Data Journalism Handbook with the European Journalism Centre last year. Since then the editors, Liliana Bounegru and Jonathan Gray — who edited the first version with Lucy Chambers — have been hard at work bringing together journalists and academics to present a state of the data journalism nation right now.
The book will be published online today and in print next year. Today’s publication includes 21 chapters from writers around the world, from China to Cuba to the US and UK. It includes sections about:
Telling stories with social media data from Buzzfeed’s Lam Thuy Vo
Collaborative investigations from Spiegel Online’s Christina Elmer
Archiving data journalism by Meredith Broussard
The latest trends in data visualisation
It’s the result of over a year of editing and gathering data journalists and academics together in hackathons at major journalistic events, such as the International Journalism Festival in Perugia.
Still to come in the next expanded version will be chapters on teaching data journalism; data journalism in the newsroom and the role of the field in investigating misinformation.
Over the past six years, the handbook has been digitally downloaded 150,000 times, and almost 1.5m people have accessed the online version.
This project is one of a series of initiatives by the data team at the Google News Initiative to support data journalists and help them understand how to best incorporate technology into their work .
It’s easy for data journalists to feel isolated. But the great thing about the Handbook is that it reminds you that you are part of a growing world community of people each struggling with the same issues. The Handbook is a key resource for every data journalist around the world.
Simon Rogers is Data Editor at the Google News Lab and Director of the Data Journalism Awards.

Quote
As many have pointed out, there are many different kinds of fake news. Or, as we put it in a forthcoming paper with colleagues, there are many different “shades of fakeness.” So much is evident in what one might call “controversies of classification” (around a list of false, misleading, clickbaity, and satirical sources by Melissa Zimdars, for instance), as well as in difficulties encountered around early attempts to fully automate the identification of fake news.
What does fake news tell us about life in the digital age? Not what you might expect Taken from A Field Guide to Fake News by Jonathan Gray, Liliana Bounegru, and Tommaso Venturini; via Nieman Lab.

New guide helps journalists, researchers investigate misinformation, memes and trolling
The field guide’s series of visual “recipes” focuses on capturing how digital platforms shape misleading information
by: Liliana Bounegru and Jonathan Gray,Public Data Lab Date: January 8, 2018
Recent trends make necessary to understand the interactions between digital platforms, misleading information and propaganda, and their influence on collective life in democracies
This, a free, open-access guide to help students, journalists and researchers investigate misleading and viral content, memes and trolling practices online was published on 8 Jan 2018. 
Released today, the five chapters of the guide describe a series of research protocols or “recipes” that can be used to trace trolling practices, the ways false viral news and memes circulate online, and the commercial underpinnings of problematic content. Each recipe provides an accessible overview of the key steps, methods, techniques and datasets used.
Recipes: citation network Network of inter-linked FB pages seeded from pro-trump meme visualization of a network of interlinked Facebook pages, seed from the pro-Trump meme repository
The guide will be most useful to digitally savvy and social media literate students, journalists and researchers. However, the recipes range from easy formulae that can be executed without much technical knowledge other than a working understanding of tools such as BuzzSumo and the CrowdTangle browser extension, to ones that draw on more advanced computational techniques. Where possible, we try to offer the recipes in both variants.

What is SECONDARY ORALITY? What does SECONDARY ORALITY mean? SECONDARY ORALITY meaning - SECONDARY ORALITY definition - SECONDARY ORALITY explanation. Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under http://ift.tt/yjiNZw license. Secondary orality is a concept in the work of scholar Walter J. Ong, as first described in his book Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word, published in 1982 (2nd ed. 2002), Walter J. Ong and discussing the differences between oral and literate cultures. In this book, Ong used the phrase ‘secondary orality’, describing it as “essentially a more deliberate and self-conscious orality, based permanently on the use of writing and print” (Ong, 1982, p. 136). According to his way of thinking, secondary orality is not primary orality, the orality of pre-literate cultures. Oral societies operated on polychronic time, with many things happening at once—socialization played a great role in the operation of these cultures, memory and memorization were of greater importance, increasing the amount of copiousness and redundancy. Oral cultures were additive rather than subordinate, closer to the human life world, and more situational and participatory than the more abstract qualities of literate cultures. Secondary orality is orality that is dependent on literate culture and the existence of writing, such as a television anchor reading the news or radio. While it exists in sound, it does not have the features of primary orality because it presumes and rests upon literate thought and expression, and may even be people reading written material. Thus, secondary orality is usually not as repetitive, redundant, agonistic, etc. the way primary orality is, and cultures that have a lot of secondary orality are not necessarily similar to primarily oral cultures. Secondary orality should not be confused with "oral residue" in which a culture has not fully transitioned to literate / written culture and retains many of the characteristics of primary oral cultures. Secondary orality is a phenomenon of post-literacy era, whereas oral residue is a stage in the transition from pre-literate to literate. Ong notes that human communication has been dominated by oral culture, and the first signs of literacy date only 6 000 years ago. Tom Pettitt, Associate Professor of English at the University of Southern Denmark, agrees with Ong, et al., by considering literate learning more the anomaly than the rule. He considers this to be a post-Gutenberg era where knowledge is formed through digital media, delivered over the internet. Calling the previous 500 years a "Gutenberg Parenthesis", he explains that before Gutenberg, knowledge was formed orally and, now, in this post-Gutenberg era, knowledge is formed—increasingly—through "secondary orality" on the Internet In The Gutenberg Galaxy, Marshall McLuhan discussed his notion of the "global village", a concept that can be related to Ong's account of secondary orality. Liliana Bounegru notes the emergence of social media (e.g. Facebook) and microblogging (i.e.Twitter) are re-tribalizing our cultures. Conversations in these social spaces are written, but are more conversational in tone than written communications; they are "rapid communication with large groups of people in a speed that would resemble oral storytelling, without having to share the same physical space with your audience."
