Computer-assisted Investigative Reporting: Development and Methodology (Routledge Communication Series)
by Margaret H. DeFleurConducting computer analyses for the purposes of revealing information of significance to the press represents an extension of one of the most important forms of American journalism into the contemporary era of new technologies. Investigative reporting had its start with the establishment of the metropolitan newspaper during the early decades of the 1900s. At the time, it was a continuation of the evolving tradition of freedom of the press that had characterized American political life since colonial times. As it developed, investigative reporting stressed facts rather than the opinions of the editor or reporter. In turn, that tradition had its own intellectual roots. Today, computer-assisted investigative reporting (CAIR) extends that "marketplace of ideas" into systematic examinations of the electronic records of government. In addition, computer analyses of other kinds of information systematically gathered by journalists can provide the press with insights into trends and patterns unlikely to be revealed by other means. This unique volume addresses procedures and issues in investigative journalism that have not been explained in other publications. It sets forth -- for the first time -- a detailed and specific methodology for conducting computer-assisted investigative analyses of both large and small scale electronic records of government and other agencies. That methodology consists of the logic of inquiry, strategies for reaching valid conclusions, and rules for reporting what has been revealed by the analyses to the public in clear ways. Such systematic methodologies are essential in social and other sciences and the development of a counterpart for investigative journalism has been badly needed. That systematic methodology is developed within a context that explains the origin and major characteristics of those elements that have come together in American society to make computer-assisted investigative reporting both possible and increasingly a part of standard newsroom practices. These include the development of traditional investigative journalism, the evolution of computer technology, the use of computers by government to keep records, the legal evolution of freedom of information laws, the rapid adoption of computers in newsrooms, the increasing importance of precision journalism, and the sharp increase in recent times of computer-assisted investigative reporting by American newspapers both large and small. The issues addressed in this book are discussed in a very readable context with an abundance of examples and illustrations drawn from the real world of journalism as it is practiced daily in newsrooms around the country. Explanations of concepts, principles, and procedures are set forth in layperson's terms that require very little in the way of knowledge of computers or statistical methods.
Computer-assisted Reporting (Routledge Communication Ser.)
by Bruce GarrisonReporters in the newsroom are becoming more involved in computer-assisted reporting and online news research than ever before. This edition introduces readers to computer-assisted reporting and to describe how leading journalists are using personal computers for news gathering in modern print, broadcast, and online newsrooms. It provides a thorough discussion of technology and its applications to news reporting. Computer Assisted Reporting focuses on the computerization of newsgathering, highlighting the fact that the computer assists journalists by making writing easier, and also makes gathering and organizing information more efficient. As it begins, the book demonstrates methods for journalists to get more from their computers, such as data retrieval, data analysis, information storage, and dissemination of that information in both processed and unprocessed forms. It concludes with a refined proposal, originally proposed in the first edition, for five stages for development of computer literacy in the newsroom.

Computers in Broadcast and Cable Newsrooms: Using Technology in Television News Production (Routledge Communication Series)
by Phillip O. KeirsteadComputers in Broadcast and Cable Newsrooms: Using Technology in Television News Production takes readers through the use of computers and software in the broadcast/cable newsroom environment. Author Phillip O. Keirstead began writing about television news technology decades ago in an effort to help television news managers cope with technological change.

Computing the News: Data Journalism and the Search for Objectivity
by Sylvain ParasieFaced with a full-blown crisis, a growing number of journalists are engaging in seemingly unjournalistic practices such as creating and maintaining databases, handling algorithms, or designing online applications. “Data journalists” claim that these approaches help the profession demonstrate greater objectivity and fulfill its democratic mission. In their view, computational methods enable journalists to better inform their readers, more closely monitor those in power, and offer deeper analysis. In Computing the News, Sylvain Parasie examines how data journalists and news organizations have navigated the tensions between traditional journalistic values and new technologies. He traces the history of journalistic hopes for computing technology and contextualizes the surge of data journalism in the twenty-first century. By importing computational techniques and ways of knowing new to journalism, news organizations have come to depend on a broader array of human and nonhuman actors. Parasie draws on extensive fieldwork in the United States and France, including interviews with journalists and data scientists as well as a behind-the-scenes look at several acclaimed projects in both countries. Ultimately, he argues, fulfilling the promise of data journalism requires the renewal of journalistic standards and ethics. Offering an in-depth analysis of how computing has become part of the daily practices of journalists, this book proposes ways for journalism to evolve in order to serve democratic societies.

Comunicar com Eficácia: Quem Ouvimos, Quem Não Ouvimos e Porquê
by Stephen Martin Joseph MarksCOMO CONQUISTAR CONFIANÇA, SABER TRANSMITIR MENSAGENS E INFLUENCIAR PESSOAS Vivemos num mundo em que factos comprovados e dados verificáveis estão amplamente disponíveis. Porque será, então, que as pessoas escolhem dar ouvidos a ignorantes em vez de prestar atenção a especialistas confiáveis? E por que motivo pormenores aparentemente irrelevantes, como a aparência física ou o estatuto socioeconómico, influenciam se iremos ou não confiar no que uma pessoa diz, independentemente da fiabilidade dos seus conhecimentos? Neste livro inovador, os especialistas em ciência comportamental Stephen Martin e Joseph Marks revelam as forças que atuam por detrás de alguns dos fenómenos mais irritantes e nocivos da atualidade, como a crença em fake news ou a conquista de cargos políticos por parte de pessoas que veiculam informações erradas e mentem de forma descarada. Explicam também de que forma o mensageiro, ao deter ou ao adquirir determinados traços, como os que definem uma pessoa carismática, se pode tornar mais importante do que a mensagem veiculada, influenciando negócios, políticas, comunidades e a nossa sociedade em geral. «Comunicar com Eficácia é um verdadeiro tour de force que aborda um assunto crucial de forma oportuna e fortemente fundamentada em pesquisas. Não consigo pensar em nenhum outro livro capaz de tratar de modo tão convincente os papéis e os atributos do mensageiro moderno.» Robert Cialdini, autor bestseller de Pré-Suasão «Compreender em quem confiamos e porquê é fundamental para explicar tudo, desde a liderança ao poder, e até mesmo os nossos relacionamentos diários. Esclarecedor e interessante, este livro ajuda-nos a entender aqueles que seguimos e por que motivo o fazemos, seja na política, nos negócios ou na vida quotidiana.» Sinan Aral, professor de Gestão no MIT «A utilidade deste livro reside no facto de ter sido concebido para auxiliar consumidores e cidadãos a entenderem quando estão a ser manipulados e a tomarem medidas para resistir a isso.» Harvard Business Review «Um livro que demonstra como a nossa consideração inata por fatores como a beleza ou o estatuto, em detrimento de evidências e factos comprovados, torna pouco surpreendente que vivamos num mundo inundado de fake news.» Financial Times
