100 books every journalist must read - John Kroll Digital A young journalism student once asked a newspaper editor what she should do to prepare for her hoped-for career as a political reporter. “Read,” the editor said. Absolutely, I thought, sitting between them, waiting for my own interview for a top job to resume. “Read Shakespeare,” he said. “And the Bible.” Forsooth, I thought, that will not beget much gain. I have a more mundane view of the must-read journalism books. They must be examples of journalism, or about the practice or history of journalism and storytelling.They should be of long-term value.They should, in sum, provide the reader with a broad perspective on journalism as a craft and an understanding of key developments. Those rules explain why most of the books on this list are older; it takes time to prove value. This is Version 1.0. The African-American Newspaper, Patrick S. Other voice: Felix F.

5 Tools for Online Journalism, Exploration and Visualization – ReadWrite In our last post on data journalism, we ran across a number of tools that would be helpful for anyone who is interested in how to make sense of data. The tools represent a renaissance in how we make sense of our information culture. They provide context and meaning to the often baffling world of big data. This is a snapshot of what is available. We are relying on the work done by Paul Bradshaw, whose blog is an excellent source about the new world of data journalism. Factual Factual provides simple APIs for building Web and mobile apps. How To Create a Table With Factual on Howcast Socrata Socrata is one of a handful of companies and organizations that are shaping the open data movement in government.

eResearch and Digital Humanities: a broader vision? Digital Heat: Vast underground machines run by downtrodden humanists power 'Metropolis. I have been having many conversations with people of late around the boundaries of ‘eResearch’ and ‘Digital Humanities’. And I have received lots of divergent and interesting responses from both researchers and professionals working in various ways with computing in the humanities. And there does tend to be little agreement about certain aspects of the landscape; many researchers have ‘discovered’ computing in the humanities from their own particular perspective and this perspective is often lacking generosity towards the richer and deeper veins of thought and helmsmanship provided by the long history of computing in humanities research and teaching (ie. the digital humanities). The eResearch community in Australia has done some fantastic work in terms of building and maintaining repositories and addressing related issues around data management and data re-use.

where material book culture meets digital humanities » Wynken de Worde Below is the text from a talk I gave at the Geographies of Desire conference, held at the University of Maryland on April 27-28. Almost everything that I said there is something that I’ve said here before, so faithful readers won’t find much that’s new. But I promised I’d stick it up here, so here it is! If you’re simply looking for the set of links to the resources I mentioned, you can find those on Pinboard. “Where material book culture meets digital humanities” Discussions about early modern books and digital tools have tended to focus on one of two responses. There are limitations, of course. You can see one column of text on each page, along with a whole bunch of other junk. There’s still ink bleeding through from the other sides of these leaves, but it’s a bit easier to sort out what’s what. Then there’s this, another image of not-quite visible ink mixed in on the page: But this is an instance of red ink not reproducing clearly. Do you see what happened? Like this: Like Loading...
