USA TODAY | BEHIND THE BLOODSHED: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICA’S MASS KILLINGS
To analyze mass killings, USA TODAY used the FBI's definition: four or more killed, not including suspects, in an event. The killing may stretch over a day or more and some distance, especially if it includes killings committed in flight or against targeted people. It does not include an extended "cooling-off period" to distinguish this kind of crime from the acts of serial killers. Unlike gun control advocates who just count shootings, USA TODAY analyzed all mass killings, regardless of weapon. USA TODAY began by collecting the FBI's Supplemental Homicide Reports for 2006-11. USA TODAY cross-checked each FBI report with local news reports and sometimes with local law enforcement agencies. USA TODAY also found 26 mass killings not recorded in FBI data. Finally, USA TODAY included several other cases not reported by the FBI, including: One on a U.S. military base. USA TODAY did not include events if deaths stemmed from negligence, such as drunken driving, even if someone was convicted.

1971 Tour de France, Orcières-Merlette to Marseilles stage, on which Luis Ocaña, in the yellow jersey, lost ground to Eddy Merckx. It was the turn of the 1970s. The two men hated each other so much that they would not even greet each other. Three days later, the shake-up he had predicted came to pass during another Alpine stage on the boiling road to Orcières-Merlette. It looked like the Tour was over and history made. Eddy Merckx talking about the 1971 Tour de France and his duel with Luis Ocaña. © Source ASO (1997) Merckx amazed him. The Col du Portillon is a highly symbolic pass between France and Spain. At Portet d’Aspet Ocaña stuck to the Belgian’s wheel and countered each of his attacks with ease. The Castilian was in a good position and hardly noticed the darkening sky above the final inclines before the Col de Mente, where he restricted himself to reining in the Belgian with the help of another good climber, Bernard Labourdette.
12 wonderful examples of immersive online storytelling
In the late 1990s the Philadelphia Inquirer published a series on “the dramatic raid of Mogadishu”. It evolved into a book and a movie called, as you may have already guessed, ‘Black Hawk Down’. The initial extended feature first made its debut in print, and was then pushed onto the website, where video, audio, maps, photos and related links helped bring the story to life. This was one of the first mainstream media attempts to use the web to enhance long form content, and while the page might not look terribly pretty, all of the right kind of functionality is there. Since then things have moved on considerably, and in an age of HTML5 I have seen some stunning examples of what can be achieved with online storytelling. Let's start with the obvious... The New York Times’ ‘Snowfall’ The chap who put this together won a Pulitzer for feature writing, and Snowfall has inspired a New York Times redesign (here’s a preview).

Le web-documentaire
Raconter la réalité Raconter la réalité avec les moyens mis à disposition par les nouvelles technologies est un privilège que peu encore ont su mettre à profit. Le web-documentaire est un genre qui n’est pas encore défini, qui est multiple et qui dépasse au niveau de la narration tous les médias précédemment utilisés. Le web-documentaire n’est qu’un moyen comme un autre pour raconter la réalité. Aspects généraux Le web-documentaire puisqu’il n’est pas clairement défini est certainement un exercice né avec le web. Les principales caractéristiques identifiées pour les web- documentaires sont tout d’abord une audace dans le sujet abordé. Aspects logistiques Modèle économique De la même manière que le documentaire classique, le web-documentaire n’est pas très facile à financer. Questions techniques Le web-documentaire, par sa complexité d’association de différents medium (sons, images, vidéos, graphiques) rend l’utilisation de Flash souvent obligatoire.

NSA files decoded: Edward Snowden's surveillance revelations explained | World news
Two factors opened the way for the rapid expansion of surveillance over the past decade: the fear of terrorism created by the 9/11 attacks and the digital revolution that led to an explosion in cell phone and internet use. But along with these technologies came an extension in the NSA’s reach few in the early 1990s could have imagined. Details that in the past might have remained private were suddenly there for the taking. Chris Soghoian Principal technologist, ACLU NSA is helped by the fact that much of the world’s communications traffic passes through the US or its close ally the UK – what the agencies refer to as “home-field advantage”. The Snowden documents show that the NSA runs these surveillance programs through “partnerships” with major US telecom and internet companies. The division inside the NSA that deals with collection programs that focus on private companies is Special Source Operations, described by Snowden as the “crown jewels” of the NSA.

Chasing Bonnie & Clyde, Long format & puzzle, « Apprendre à coder », disent-ils , Autoportrait du journaliste belge … La semaine
Il ne faut pas écouter les augures qui annoncent la fin du journalisme. Il n’a sans doute jamais été aussi vivant. Un projet comme Chasing Bonnie & Clyde en est l’illustration, tous comme le sont les magnifiques sujets multimédias proposés par le New York Times, PBS et L’Équipe. Avec Explore, le site sportif montre qu’il est possible d’être ambitieux et innovant avec des budgets maîtrisés. Encore faut-il, pour que cela soit possible, que les journalistes changent et s’ouvrent -entre autres- à la technologie et donc apprennent le « code », la question étant de savoir ce que cache ce terme générique. Le sommaire de la semaine 1. Le point de départ t est le mythique couple Bonnie Parker et Clyde Barrow, spécialisé dans l’attaque à main armée de banques dans les années 1930. Comme tous les projets ambitieux, Chasing Bonnie & Clyde, nécessite un financement important. et en bonus le nouveau trailer Chasing Bonnie & Clyde – Trailer – Documentary par chasingbc Retour au sommaire2.
