Traditionally, when we talk about impact journalism, it follows a pattern of articles being written and a law changing or someone stepping down from their role. This idea doesn\u2019t leave a lot of room for the other impact journalism has on communities \u2014 like trust, media literacy and access to actionable information. We\u2019re going to discuss how to rethink the impact you\u2019re tracking as a result of your journalism and then the next big step of actually tracking it.", "facilitators": "Darryl Holliday, Julie Christie", "break": "", "everyone": "", "facilitators_twitter": "", "length": "75 minutes", "notepad": "", "room": "", "talk": "", "timeblock": "thu-1230pm", "transcription": "y", "event_dtstart": "2020-07-16T12:30:00", "event_dtend": "2020-07-16T13:45:00", "event_tzid": "America/New_York", "event_uid": "srccon-2020/thu-redefining impact"}

I'll debut the results from an informal early Spring 2020 survey of former journalists of color in the hopes of: 1) seeding a data-informed discussion space for SRCCON participants; 2) mobilizing participants around the use of data to determine: where do we go from here? and 3) hopefully, carving out space for JOCs (cub journos, especially) to weigh the 'exit interviews' of those who've gone before them.", "facilitators": "Carla Murphy, Mazin Sidahmed", "break": "", "everyone": "", "facilitators_twitter": "", "length": "75 minutes", "notepad": "", "room": "", "talk": "", "timeblock": "thu-1230pm", "transcription": "", "event_dtstart": "2020-07-16T12:30:00", "event_dtend": "2020-07-16T13:45:00", "event_tzid": "America/New_York", "event_uid": "srccon-2020/thu-leavers-survey"}

These myths are often inspired by true events, but other times they are entirely fictional. Myths can sustain long-standing traditions, prevent people from questioning norms, and ultimately persuade an audience towards a certain belief or action. Much like many aspects of society and culture, the field of data visualization is rich with its own mythologies and problematic histories. Did data visualization help spur Manifest Destiny? What was the objective of maps containing \"moral statistics\"? What is the truth behind the myth that unbiased data leads to unbiased models?\n\nThis session will include a brief history of data visualization and its mythologies, insights from both theoretical and modern texts, and interactive brainstorming activities. We\u2019ll share how we've encountered the myths of data visualization in our own work and learn how to contextualize them for diverse audiences.", "facilitators": "Jess Eng, Allison McCartney", "break": "", "everyone": "", "facilitators_twitter": "", "length": "75 minutes", "notepad": "", "room": "", "talk": "", "timeblock": "thu-1230pm", "transcription": "", "event_dtstart": "2020-07-16T12:30:00", "event_dtend": "2020-07-16T13:45:00", "event_tzid": "America/New_York", "event_uid": "srccon-2020/thu-mythologies-dataviz"}
