| thu-editors-dataviz | Thursday | 4-5:15pm ET | Training Your Editor to Edit Your Dataviz | In most small newsrooms, there's no graphics team editor — when you hand in a story with a chart, it's your editor's job to vet the chart, plus its title, annotations and text. But editing a news graphic isn't like editing a story, and especially in small newsroom, you might be the person with the most data visualization experience in the room. Your editor might not know what a Marimekko chart is, but probably knows how to vet a story for clarity and flow. There's no inverted triangle or nut graf, but your graphic is telling a story. We'll use this session to create a checklist that guides an editor through questions to ask about a graphic — how well it's communicating its message, and what it could be doing better. | Andrea Suozzo, Justin Myers | 75 minutes | thu-4pm | 2020-07-16T16:00:00 | 2020-07-16T17:15:00 | America/New_York | srccon-2020/thu-editors-dataviz | |||||||
| thu-off-platform | Thursday | 4-5:15pm ET | Meeting readers where they are: Being smart about 'off platform' | Remember the old days when the news got to you by hand? Someone would sell the newspaper on the street or deliver it to your place. Nowadays, news is everywhere. The news platform is no longer the newspaper, the news site or the news app; most commonly people get informed on social media or searching for a topic on Google. The model of news consumption is constantly changing and the rules are set not by the news providers, but by popular third parties, such as Google or Facebook. Most news organizations play catch up with the latest algorithm trying to stay on top of the conversation or even just contribute a small share of the discussion. A news story could be good, but get buried if not featured on social media or rank high on search engines. This model imposes several problems and implications: - It creates echo chambers - The loudest voice is the one that often gets shared - Fosters fake news or propaganda - Readers don’t get to experience different angles of a developing news story - News organizations are left reeling with the technical, ethical and monetary implications of having news spread everywhere. Here’s a radical idea: How can the news organizations gain back control of how the conversation shapes off-platform? How can they make third party content platforms work for them instead of the other way around? And most importantly, how can newsrooms use off-platform content sharing to reach a more diverse audience? This is what we will explore in this session. | Justin Heideman, Katerina Iliakopoulou | 75 minutes | thu-4pm | 2020-07-16T16:00:00 | 2020-07-16T17:15:00 | America/New_York | srccon-2020/thu-off-platform | |||||||
| thu-young-audiences | Thursday | 4-5:15pm ET | "How do you do, fellow kids?": Building Community to Attract and Retain Young Audiences | The journalism industry is out of touch with what young audiences want—no wonder young people aren't subscribing, supporting, or trusting mainstream publications. In this session, we'll talk about why community-building is so important to attract and retain young audiences. We'll discuss trust, personalization, branding and journalism "personalities," internet culture as a means of reaching young audiences, and (ethical) ways to monetize journalism especially when more and more young people feel no desire to pay for news. | Emily Liu, Nico Gendron, Taylor Nakagawa | 75 minutes | thu-4pm | 2020-07-16T16:00:00 | 2020-07-16T17:15:00 | America/New_York | srccon-2020/thu-young-audiences | |||||||
