De følgende dage foregik på Nicar-konferencen, hvor jeg deltog i nedenstående punkter fra programmet: Torsdag den 5. marts Spotlight: Being a reporter when everyone's a journalist and there's data everywhere Speaker: Zeynep Tufekci The forgotten history of data journalism Speaker: Scott Klein You may think that data journalism started in the 1960s, but the truth is, data's been a central part of journalism since its very beginning. You'll see beautiful examples of data visualizations in news from the 18th and 19th centuries, and a data-backed investigation--complete with nerd box--from before the Civil War. Uncovering racial and economic divides using data Speakers: Tim Henderson, Malik Singleton, David Herzog, Nikole Hannah-Jones CAR on the beat Speakers: Kate Martin, Christopher Weaver, Jennifer Smith Richards Data isn't just for big projects or a designated investigative reporter. Learn how to think about finding and using data on any beat and the best way to make data part of your everyday work. We'll talk about the kind of data every beat reporter should have on hand, how to make time for data analysis and show some examples of how beat reporters have made use of data in everyday stories. Fredag den 6. Marts: The year in CAR Speakers: Megan Luther, Alex Richards What were the big stories of the year? What were the most creative uses of data analysis? See what your colleagues have been up to and pick up some story ideas at the same time. Thinking about interactivity Speakers: Robert Hernandez, Mariana Santos, Trina Chiasson, Melissa Bell Local data that can lead to stories Speakers: Walker Moskop, Lee Zurik, Gavin Off If governments oversee it, chances are they keep data on it. From police traffic stops and 911 calls to employee salaries and gun permits, local data can drive in-depth investigations and give context to breaking news stories. Using data to detect environmental dangers Speakers: Caelainn Barr, Michael Corey, Robert Gebeloff, Ingrid Lobet You smell an environmental problem, there are powerful anecdotes, you've tracked down the subject matter experts. But you're not sure how to truthsquad what they say. You've pressed officials to find out what data is available. But you don't have to stop there, you can go further. Learn how to analyze data in ways the regulators aren't doing, and to turn hard-won but boring environmental data into visuals and writing that make people pay attention. Deep dives part 2 Speakers: John Bones, Mar Cabra, Blake Ellis, Melanie Hicken, John Kelly We'll give three journalists a chance to talk about their data-driven projects. Check back here for more information. Lightning Talks Speaker: Sisi Wei, ProPublica Sometimes you don't need 45 minutes to explain a useful technique or interesting resource. Join your colleagues for a session of short (5-minute) talks about doing CAR, Web development or other related topics. Anyone can suggest an idea, and the most popular talks will be given at this session. We'll provide a computer with Internet access and a projector, and the rest is up to you. Go here for a list of the 2015 lightning talks you selected. Fra uddelingen af Philip Meyer Award – en pris for undersøgende journalistic, som uddeles af IRE – Investigative Reporters and Editors, arr. Af Nicar 2015. Lørdag den 7. Marts. This just in: Data for breaking news investigations Speakers: Stephen Stock, Cheryl Phillips What will you do the next time a plane crashes, a fire starts or a politician gets caught in a scandal? We'll show you how you can prepare for the next big story using dashboards, searchable databases and more. Sensor journalism: Buzz or BS? Speakers: John Keefe, Travis Hartman, Matthew Waite, Amy Schmitz Weiss The hype around Sensor Journalism is that it's a major new frontier in Data Journalism. So where are all the examples? Is it buzz or BS? We'll explore that, show some successes and unveil a few projects emerging from the lab. Deep dive: Phil Meyer Award winners Speakers: Phil Williams, David Donald, Ryan McNeill, Michael Grabell, Lena Groeger, Jeff Larson, Olga Pierce, Fred Schulte The winners of the Philip Meyer Award take you behind the scenes and offer insights, tips and strategies that helped them pull of their award-winning work. These projects uncovered how the medical injuries overbills elderly patients to the tune of billions of dollars, the dangers that temporary workers face and the risks of rising ocean levels. Vi havde også et frokostmøde alene for vores hold, hvor vi fik tips til amerikanske databaser, der kan indeholde oplysninger om danske virksomheder eller personer, som for eksempel køber eller sælger til den amerikanske regering. Søndag den 8. Marts begyndte hjemturen. Mit udbytte: Jeg har hørte mange forskellige måder at udnytte muligheden for at hente tal i databaser for at underbygge historier. Det ser ud som om, journalistikken ændrer sig og bliver mere veldokumenteret gennem tal og statistikker – så man ikke bare nøjes med 2-3 cases og en ekspert for at skrive en historie. Der var også mange gode eksempler på, hvordan man gennem interaktive kort kan inddrage seere og læsere. Jeg hentede inspiration i mange af de foredrag, jeg overværede – både med hensyn til hvilke emner, man tage op – og hvordan man kan udnytte data til at underbygge historierne. Oplægsholderne er meget nemme at forstå, og der er altid såkaldte tipsheets, hvor man kan få tips og links til vigtige databaser. Det var også meget udbytterigt at besøge journalistiske centre som ex Center for Public Integrity for at se, hvordan man laver undersøgende journalistik og prøver at finde medier at samarbejde med. Derfor kan jeg kun anbefale andre at deltage i kommende ture til USA for at besøge amerikanske medier og være med i Nicar-konferencer. Det er en god måde at se, hvor en stor del af den undersøgende journalistik bevæger sig hen.
