Computation+Journalism Symposium 2015\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

October 2-3<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Paper and panel proposals due\u00a0August 14, 2015<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The Computation+Journalism Symposium is a celebration and synthesis of<\/div>\n
new ways to find and tell news stories with, by, and about data and<\/div>\n
algorithms. It is a venue to seed new collaborations between<\/div>\n
journalists and computer and data scientists: a bazaar for the<\/div>\n
exchange of ideas between industry\/practice and academia\/research.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are pleased to invite both papers and panels that explore the<\/div>\n
interface between data and computer science and journalism. We divide<\/div>\n
submissions into one of four categories.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Stories, visualizations, or other interactive experiences<\/b>\u00a0exemplary<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 of outstanding journalism produced about or with data, code and<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 algorithms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Platforms\u00a0<\/b>that support journalistic work and which enable new ways<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 of finding, producing, curating, or disseminating stories and other<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 news content.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Research papers<\/b>\u00a0which explore a question of interest in journalism<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 or information studies, or in data and computing science, as it<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 relates back to journalism and news information.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Pedagogical innovations<\/b>, describing how technology can be used in<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 the teaching of journalism, or journalism can be used in the<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 training in data and computer science and other branches of<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 engineering.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This year, we are also soliciting panel proposals in these<\/div>\n
categories. A panel will consist of between 3 and 5 participants and a<\/div>\n
moderator, and should be thought of as a discussion on a topic of<\/div>\n
interest to the computation and journalism communities. Our goal with<\/div>\n
this line of solicitation is to surface new topics and extend the<\/div>\n
reach of the meeting to new communities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We will judge sumissions in the separate categories – stories,<\/div>\n
platforms, research and pedagogy – on their own merits, but all should<\/div>\n
be reflective and seek to share knowledge that leads the field<\/div>\n
forward. For instance, submissions about stories or visualizations<\/div>\n
might explain the story as well as how it was enabled or constrained<\/div>\n
by technology; platform submissions might detail what is unique about<\/div>\n
the platform and how its design affords journalistic work; and<\/div>\n
research submissions might articulate a research question and<\/div>\n
contribution to state-of-the-art knowledge.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All submissions will be reviewed by experts in the field, and accepted<\/div>\n
papers will be invited to present the work in demo and oral sessions<\/div>\n
at the symposium. This year we anticipate relationships with two<\/div>\n
journals, the American Journalism Review and Digital Journalism, to<\/div>\n
help publish the proceedings of the symposium.<\/div>\n
