Helen Kennedy

Professor, University of Sheffield

Data visualization: newsroom trends, everyday engagements, possible futures  

This presentation looks at the production of data visualizations (or dataviz) in newsrooms and audiences’ engagements with dataviz, drawing on two separate research projects. The first is Seeing Data (seeingdata.org), which explored how people make sense of data visualizations, and the second is INDVIL (indvil.org), on which I worked with others to ask: How is data visualization being embedded into newsroom practice? What trends are emerging, and what challenges are arising? On the INDVIL project, we found that dataviz are perceived in diverse ways and deployed for diverse purposes. On Seeing Data, we also found great diversity, this time in how audiences make sense of dataviz. This diversity is important for the future work of dataviz practitioners. I conclude the talk by reflecting on what future data visualization in the news might look like.

Helen Kennedy is Professor of Digital Society at the University of Sheffield. Her research has traversed digital media landscapes and has often involved working closely with media practitioners. She is currently investigating the datafication of everything, with an emphasis on the visual dimensions of this phenomenon. She leads the Seeing Data (seeingdata.org) programme of research, on which she collaborates with award-winning data visualizers such as Visualising Data (http://visualisingdata.com/) and Clever Franke (https://www.cleverfranke.com/).

Runa Sandvik

Senior editorial security officer , The New York Times

Runa Sandvik var inntil for noen uker siden leder for det redaksjonelle sikkerhetsarbeidet i New York Times.

I sitt arbeid for en av verdens ledende mediebedrifter førte hun an i sentrale sikkerhetsspørsmål for redaksjonen. Det gjaldt journalistenes sikkerhet, arbeide med kildesikkerhet og dermed viktige forhold som går direkte på tilliten til ett av de fremste mediehus i verden. Sikkerheten for redaksjonen i New York Times er viktig for tilliten som må eksistere mellom medium og publikum.

I hackernes tidsalder må nye verktøy utvikles samtidig som kilder må beskyttes, journalister på oppdrag må beskyttes, innholdet og selve virksomheten vernes mot lekkasjer, angrep og trusler.

Møt Runa Sandvik, tidligere Senior Director of Information Security at The New York Times, som fortsatt brenner for disse avgjørende forholdene for en redaksjon.

Gerd Marie May

Founder, Room of Solutions

After attending Constructive Institute in Århus, Denmark as a fellow, Gerd has set out to rethink about journalism:

I work to create a society where everyone who wants to feel part of a meaningful community is able to make informed decisions and actively participate in the development of society.

Her company, “Room of Solutions” helps create and implement strategies that includes constructive and engaging journalism. By tradition, editorial managers don’t talk about negative or constructive news, it’s all about news. Gerd is challenging this rule, saying that media needs to be critical to own methods to find its future position in society.

I help Danish and foreign media and educational institutions with strategy workshops, inspirational lectures and educational programs.

I am committed, passionate and focused on developing journalism so that it constructively supports a positive development in our society.
I believe in inclusivity, inspiration, nuances and trust as the fundamental journalistic criteria.

Gerd Marie May worked as a journalist at Danmarks Radio, head of editorial developments at Fyhns Stiftstidende and has held educational positions as lecturer at University of Southern Denmark.

Personvernerklæring

Personvernerklæringen handler om hvordan denne nettsiden samler inn og bruker informasjon om besøkende. Erklæringen inneholder informasjon du har krav på når det samles inn opplysninger fra nettstedet vårt, og generell informasjon om hvordan vi behandler personopplysninger. Juridisk eier av nettsiden er behandlingsansvarlig for virksomhetens behandling av personopplysninger. Det er frivillig for de som besøker nettsidene å oppgi personopplysninger i forbindelse med tjenester som å motta nyhetsbrev og benytte del- og tipstjenesten. Behandlingsgrunnlaget er samtykke fra den enkelte, med mindre annet er spesifisert.

1. Webanalyse og informasjonskapsler (cookies)

Som en viktig del av arbeidet med å lage et brukervennlig nettsted, ser vi på brukermønsteret til de som besøker nettstedet. For å analysere informasjonen, bruker vi analyseverktøyet Google Analytics. Google Analytics bruker informasjonskapsler/cookies (små tekstfiler som nettstedet lagrer på brukerens datamaskin), som registrerer brukernes IP-adresse, og som gir informasjon om den enkelte brukers bevegelser på nett. Eksempler på hva statistikken gir oss svar på er; hvor mange som besøker ulike sider, hvor lenge besøket varer, hvilke nettsteder brukerne kommer fra og hvilke nettlesere som benyttes. Ingen av informasjonskapslene gjør at vi kan knytte informasjon om din bruk av nettstedet til deg som enkeltperson. Informasjonen som samles inn av Google Analytics, lagres på Googles servere i USA. Mottatte opplysninger er underlagt Googles retningslinjer for personvern. En IP-adresse er definert som en personopplysning fordi den kan spores tilbake til en bestemt maskinvare og dermed til en enkeltperson. Vi bruker Google Analytics sin sporingskode som anonymiserer IP-adressen før informasjonen lagres og bearbeides av Google. Dermed kan ikke den lagrede IP-adressen brukes til å identifisere den enkelte brukeren.

2. Søk

Hvis nettsiden har søkefunksjon så lagrer informasjon om hvilke søkeord brukerne benytter i Google Analytics. Formålet med lagringen er å gjøre informasjonstilbudet vårt bedre. Bruksmønsteret for søk lagres i aggregert form. Det er bare søkeordet som lagres, og de kan ikke kobles til andre opplysninger om brukerne, slik som til IP-adressene.

3. Del/tips-tjenesten

Funksjonen "Del med andre" kan brukes til å videresende lenker til nettstedet på e-post, eller til å dele innholdet på sosiale nettsamfunn. Opplysninger om tips logges ikke hos oss, men brukes kun der og da til å legge inn tipset hos nettsamfunnet. Vi kan imidlertid ikke garantere at nettsamfunnet ikke logger disse opplysningene. Alle slike tjenester bør derfor brukes med vett. Dersom du benytter e-postfunksjonen, bruker vi bare de oppgitte e-postadressene til å sende meldingen videre uten noen form for lagring.

4. Nyhetsbrev

Nettsiden kan sende ut nyhetsbrev via epost hvis du har registrert deg for å motta dette. For at vi skal kunne sende e-post må du registrere en e-postadresse. Mailchimp er databehandler for nyhetsbrevet. E-postadressen lagres i en egen database, deles ikke med andre og slettes når du sier opp abonnementet. E-postadressen slettes også om vi får tilbakemelding om at den ikke er aktiv.

5. Påmelding, skjema

Nettsiden kan ha skjema for påmelding, kontaktskjema eller andre skjema. Disse skjemaene er tilgjengeliggjort for publikum for å utføre de oppgaver de er ment å gjøre. Påmeldingsskjema er for at besøkende kan melde seg på eller registrere seg. Kontaktskjema er for at besøkende enkelt kan sende en melding til nettsidens kontaktperson. Vi ber da om navnet på innsender og kontaktinformasjon til denne. Personopplysninger vi mottar blir ikke benyttet til andre formål enn å svare på henvendelsen. Skjema sendes som epost via Mailgun som tredjepartsløsning. Hele innsendelen blir lagret hos Mailgun i 24 timer. Mellom 24 timer og 30 dager er det kun mailheader som blir oppbevart før innsendelsen blir slettet etter 30 dager. Årsaken til denne lagringen er for å bekrefte om eposter blir sendt fra nettsiden og videresendt til riktig mottaker. Når eposten er mottatt av mottaker så er det opp til mottaker å avgjøre Databehandlingsbehovet av eposten.

6. Side- og tjenestefunksjonalitet

Det blir brukt informasjonskapsler i drift og presentasjon av data fra nettsteder. Slike informasjonskapsler kan inneholde informasjon om språkkode for språk valgt av brukeren. Det kan være informasjonskapsler med informasjon som støtter om lastbalanseringen av systemet slik at alle brukere blir sikret en best mulig opplevelse. Ved tjenester som krever innlogging eller søk kan det bli brukt informasjonskapsler som sikrer at tjenesten presenterer data til rett mottaker.

7. Hvordan håndtere informasjonskapsler i din nettleser

På www.nettvett.no kan du lese om hvordan du stiller inn nettleseren for å godta/avvise informasjonskapsler, og få tips til sikrere bruk av internett.
