SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Series 8\, Data Visualization (Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO COLUMBIA JOURNALISM STUDENTS \nA unique set of seminars and hands-on workshops that bring new technology and design ideas to the Columbia Journalism community. The goal is simple — help students learn new ways to find and tell stories\, new ways to inform and entertain. Each topic will commence with a Friday evening panel discussion and will follow with a Saturday hands-on workshop centered around building. \nStudents attending three of the seminar-workshops over the course of the year will receive a graduation award indicating the extra breadth they sought out during their time at the J-School. \nMORE INFO \n*** \nGraphical (or pictorial) presentations of data have become an almost essential part of journalistic practice. Data visualization helps us see patterns in data\, and is an important tool for finding stories. Also\, outlets like The New York Times and The Guardian are publishing data visualizations that push the idea of story telling\, creating new data-driven ways to inform and entertain. In this day-long workshop\, Mona Chalabi will review some basic data visualization skills–guiding you through the design process. You will add annotation layers and learn to exploit what’s unique about data. During the day\, we will also help you think critically about visualizations\, making you a better consumer of data graphics.

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Series 6\, Climate Change (Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO COLUMBIA JOURNALISM STUDENTS \nA unique set of seminars and hands-on workshops that bring new technology and design ideas to the Columbia Journalism community. The goal is simple — help students learn new ways to find and tell stories\, new ways to inform and entertain. Each topic will commence with a Friday evening panel discussion and will follow with a Saturday hands-on workshop centered around building. \nStudents attending three of the seminar-workshops over the course of the year will receive a graduation award indicating the extra breadth they sought out during their time at the J-School. \nMORE INFO \n*** \nFood production. Transportation. Energy usage. Critical infrastructure. Climate change is affecting almost every aspect of our lives. But reporting on climate is challenging\, and many journalists feel uncomfortable engaging the topic outside an environmental beat. The subject can be technical\, supported by data and models\, some of which do not agree. \nWith this edition of the Transparency Series\, we focus on climate change. For previous events\, we presented techniques — network analysis\, poll interpretation\, mapping. This time\, our technique is “interdisciplinary collaboration” — working with scientists to tell better stories. In a day-long workshop we will learn from leading climate scientists about how to cast climate as a character in stories\, and not just the environment story. Sports? Real estate? Politics? Through collaboration\, we can explore many more topics. \nThe morning will be spent with Gavin Schmidt\, Director and leading scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Sciences\, and Susanne Rust\, Director of the Environmental Reporting Fellows at the Columbia Journalism School. In our time with them\, we will survey the current landscape of reporting on climate change\, and look to the tools\, data and resources that exist for reporters trying to write about the topic. In the afternoon\, students will be paired with PhD students in Columbia’s Environmental Science program to come up with pitches of their own–new stories to contextualize the impacts of climate change.

SUMMARY:The Transparency Series - Series 5\, Networks (Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL COLUMBIANS \nA unique set of seminars and hands-on workshops that bring new technology and design ideas to the Columbia Journalism community. The goal is simple — help students learn new ways to find and tell stories\, new ways to inform and entertain. Each topic will commence with a Friday evening panel discussion and will follow with a Saturday hands-on workshop centered around building. \nStudents attending three of the seminar-workshops over the course of the year will receive a graduation award indicating the extra breadth they sought out during their time at the J-School. \nMORE INFO \n*** \nThe world is a complicated place\, and sometimes it’s not the things themselves that’s the story\, but the connections between the things. two speakers whose projects transform these connections between things into first-rate journalism. The first is Kevin Connor\, the director of the Public Accountability Initiative (PAI) and co-founder of LittleSis.org (think the opposite of Big Brother)\, an online wiki database tracking information on powerful people and organizations. Then we will hear from Mar Cabra\, head of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) Data & Research Unit. She led a global team from ICIJ analyzing the 11.5 million documents in the famed Panama Papers leak.

These are structures that don’t fit easily into a spreadsheet — they encode relationships. Who knows who? Who worked for the same company? Who donated to or lobbied for which campaign? Who retweets who? These kinds of data let us connect the dots between people and organizations. Where are conflicts of interest? Can we track money or influence? On social media\, can we see important “influencers” or visualize groups of people who share specific kinds of content?

With the recent explosion of VR – specifically 360-degree video– journalistic outlets are hungry for quality documentary content for immersive platforms. While immersive media experiences have become increasingly prevalent in the gaming and entertainment industry\, we are only beginning to explore them within the context of documentary photography and journalism. How can media makers use immersion as a tool to build empathy\, engage communities\, and forward social change? How does immersing your viewer in content change the nature of the story you are telling? And how does this mode of experiencing a story change how journalists approach the planning\, creation\, and distribution of stories?

As the 2016 election nears\, we pore over opinion polls looking for subtle (or not so subtle) clues about how things will fare on November 8. We say Clinton is ahead because most of the polls have her ahead\, yet there are polls that have Trump ahead. Which polls are right? Or reliable? To journalists\, of course\, the polls themselves aren’t the story\, they help tell us a story. The narrative power of polls extends far beyond a single number on a given day. Taken collectively and in combination with other data\, we can tell deep stories about the nature of our public’s opinions.
