Data journalism at the Guardian: what is it and how do we do it? | News | guardian.co.uk - 0 views

  • Data journalism at the Guardian: what is it and how do we do it? Simon Rogers: Our 10 point guide to data journalism and how it's changing Share  reddit this omnitracker.omniTrackEVarEvent( 12, 16, 'News: Reddit', 'click', '.reddit a' ); Comments (2) Data journalism. What is it and how is it changing? Photograph: Alamy Here's an interesting thing: data journalism is becoming part of the establishment. Not in an Oxbridge elite kind of way (although here's some data on that) but in the way it is becoming the industry standard.Two years ago, when we launched the Datablog, all this was new. People still asked if getting stories from data was really journalism and not everyone had seen Adrian Holovaty's riposte. But once you've had MPs expenses and Wikileaks, the startling thing is that no-one asks those questions anymore. Instead, they want to know, "how do we do it?"

Reporters' Lab // Spotted in St. Louis: Video Notebook sneak peek - 0 views

  •  
    Something that, at least for now, we've dubbed the Video Notebook. Your notes, as well as the sources you've imported, scroll along with the video. Just click on a note and the video jumps to the proper location in the timeline. The lab's lead developer, Charlie Szymanski, is heading up the project. His goal is to create an application to index, search and analyze recorded video by syncing notes and data feeds from sources like Twitter, Storify and live blogs. Essentially, it will allow reporters to save hours of time normally spent wading through video by jumping right to the segments they're looking for. We're hoping a tool like this will be especially helpful to reporters planning to live tweet recorded events, from city council meetings to political stump speeches.
