There's rising interest in a new form of journalism, one which has been named Data Journalism. This is where journalists delve deep into massive amounts of data and find the stories about the data. The UK Guardian has been doing this with the Afghan war logs, those cables, UK health data, etc. (This is distinct from Computer Aided Journalism which has been around for a time in that while CAJ is about finding stories _within_ a mass of data, DJ is about finding the stories _about_ the data.) So .. massive amounts of data, various forms of taxonomies and indices, various degrees of data purity, ... sounds like the kind of thing IAs get involved into. And yet there's nary any discussion of Data Journalism in the various IA venues. My question is what role can IAs have in these activities? e. ------------ 2011 IA Summit March 30 - April 3, 2011 Pre Conference Seminars: March 30-31 IA Summit: April 1-3 Hyatt Regency Convention Center Denver, CO ----- When replying, please *trim your post* as much as possible. *Plain text, please; NO Attachments Searchable Archive at http://www.info-arch.org/lists/sigia-l/ ________________________________________ Sigia-l mailing list -- post to: [email protected] Changes to subscription: http://mail.asis.org/mailman/listinfo/sigia-l
