| Festival2011/Architect the Low-Res Newsroom + | Journalists are often told they need to master tools like Twitter and apps that run on smartphones. But what about the device that most people have -- cell phones? The majority of cell phone users around the world do not have smart phones and if journalists don't find ways to innovate with regular feature (read dumb) phones, they're missing a huge swathe of the population. Amy O'Donnell and Florene Scialom work for FrontlineSMS - a free and open source software which helps you to manage SMS text messages without requiring the Internet. It has been downloaded almost 20,000 times and is used in over 70 countries in projects ranging from election monitoring to healthcare, market price information to news bulletins. The FrontlineSMS:Radio project has been focusing on audience interaction via SMS. As part of our Knight News Challenge project we will be exploring how mobile phones can be used for digital news gathering. Stevie Graham Stevie is a developer evangelist at twilio. Jim Colgan worked at WNYC Radio in New York for almost 10 years, where he launched public radio's first mobile crowdsourcing projects. When a major snow storm hit the city last year, he created a way for radio listeners to map the cleanup effort, reporting on how much snow had been plowed (or not), when no reporter could. Jim now works with the text message platform, Mobile Commons, helping news organizations across the US and beyond to find ways for journalists to engage with audience via SMS. This session will look at how what's often seen as an old-fashioned technology can help journalists engage with their audiences in new ways. Come with your questions as they talk through their projects. + |

| Festival2011/Data Journalism Handbook + | Challenge: We need to assemble a utility belt for data-driven journalists! There’s increasing pressure on journalists to drive news stories and visualizations from data. But where do you start? What skills are needed to do data-driven journalism well? What’s missing from existing tools and documentation? Put together a user-friendly handbook for finding, cleaning, sorting, creating, and visualizing data — all in service of powerful stories and reporting. A group of leading data journalists, developers and others are meeting to kickstart work on the handbook. Read more.

| Festival2011/Flow Media: Real-Time Reporting + | With the unfolding of the Arab Spring throughout the Middle East, the London Riots in the UK, and the Occupy Movement around the US, news consumers, journalists, and technologists saw the increasing reliance on real-time information streams to give readers access to every new update in a story. The popularity of live blogging makes it clear that this thirst for real time news can be dealt with using blocks of varied media from significant tweets through to live video feeds. However, the workflow for keeping up with the firehose while maintaining context and accuracy is in desperate need of a refresh. Join Alastair Dant from the Guardian and Bilal Randeree from Al Jazeera in this design challenge. Some areas to focus on: SPECS: Can we create a standardized format to represent real-time episodic information? TIMELINE UI: How do we present real-time info to the end user beyond the vertical strip and left/right scroller? LINKS: Linking to a liveblog: How do you retain context and the stream? COMMENTS: How do you integrate a comment stream into a live stream so that they correspond to a specific event? ADAPTABLE CONTEXT: How do you create an adaptable presentation, that can move with a one-time event that turns into something longer-term? THE CONTROL ROOM: Where do you focus "the camera" when you don't know where a story is going. And what is "the camera" anyway? + |
