My slides for panel discussion in International Journalism Festival, in Perugia, 6 april 2016. Between civic and data journalism: how to work on a crowdsourced journalistic investigation with Daniel Drepper co-founder Correctiv!; Gianluca De Martino Dataninja. Here’s your menu: data-driven reporting, crowdmapping, social media, online petitions, whistleblowing platforms. Choose one, some or all of them. How best to involve citizens (and indeed other journalists) in creating journalism of quality and/or of public interest. And what tools to use to best achieve this. http://www.journalismfestival.com/programme/2016/between-civic-and-data-journalism-how-to-work-on-a-crowdsourced-journalistic-investigation

“Crowdsourcing journalism”for
Tow Center for Digital Journalism is...
“Journalism crowdsourcing
is the act of specifically
inviting a group of people
to participate in a
reporting task—such as
newsgathering, data
collection, or analysis—
through a targeted, open
call for input; personal
experiences; documents; or
other contributions.”

crowdsourcing/

“There are no journalists,
there is only the service of journalism”
“So then what the hell is journalism?
It is a service. It is a service whose end, again, is
an informed public. Journalism helps communities
organize their knowledge so they can better organize
themselves.”
