20 free ebooks on journalism (for your Xmas Kindle) {updated to 50} As many readers of this blog will have received a Kindle for Christmas I thought I should share my list of the free ebooks that I recommend stocking up on. Online journalism and multimedia ebooks Starting with more general books, Mark Briggs‘s book Journalism 2.0 (PDF*) is now 4 years old but still provides a good overview of online journalism to have by your side.
Mindy McAdams‘s 42-page Reporter’s Guide to Multimedia Proficiency (PDF) adds some more on that front, and Adam Westbrook‘s Ideas on Digital Storytelling and Publishing (PDF) provides a larger focus on narrative, editing and other elements. After the first version of this post, MA Online Journalism student Franzi Baehrle suggested this free book on DSLR Cinematography, as well as Adam Westbrook on multimedia production (PDF). And Guy Degen recommends the free ebook on news and documentary filmmaking from ImageJunkies.com. Ebooks about computer assisted reporting and data journalism Community management ebooks Like this: Slides, Tools and Other Resources From the School of Data Journalism 2013.

Blog | vis4.net | Random thoughts on information visualization, data journalism and interactive graphics by Gregor Aisch. Find more about my data visualization work at <a href=" Let’s Crowdsource a Database of Websites about Data Journalism! While doing research for a PhD on data journalism in Brazilian newsrooms, I have recently stumbled upon the need to analyse what reporters and researchers abroad are talking about the subject.
But I was soon after confronted with the absence of a comprehensive database or other resource listing websites and weblogs on visualization, investigative techniques, CAR, and all other newsrooms practices labelled as data journalism. So, using a humble Google Docs spreadsheet, I started one. Data journalism is big in Brazil right now, and there is a fair number of reporters sharing techniques and discussing the recently sanctioned Freedom of Information law. One of them is CAR pioneer José Roberto de Toledo, who writes Vox Pública and is the head of the data team at O Estado de São Paulo. Marcelo Soares, another CAR evangelist, works at Folha de São Paulo and is the author of Afinal de Contas.

Coding is expensive and slow, journalism should be cheap and fast. This is the main problem I face as a data journalism producer. My responsibility is to produce news apps for Helsingin Sanomat, a main daily newspaper in Finland. When there is a breaking news event, we have about five hours to come up with an idea, get the data and publish the news app. In most cases it would be too slow to start from scratch. To overcome this problem, we have been creating kind of a Style Book for data journalists. Ideally, we just insert new set of data to template and publish it. Common example of this approach is a map made with Google Fusion Tables.
The templates we use are mainly built by our data desk. The Style Book is currently a page on our internal Wiki. Below, I’ve listed some of the templates we use. Timeline. Animated graph. Animated quotes. Counter. Interactive maps. Fourfold table. Graphs. Forms. Scorecards. Voting tools. Roll-over images. Special layouts for web. Data Publica labs. Ecrire pour le web.pdf. Digital Storytelling in the Cloud. Trouver des pictogrammes de qualité. 22,639 free fonts for Windows and Mac - FontSpace. Regards Citoyens. Cours. Google Search Operators.
The following table lists the search operators that work with each Google search service. Click on an operator to jump to its description — or, to read about all of the operators, simply scroll down and read all of this page. The following is an alphabetical list of the search operators. This list includes operators that are not officially supported by Google and not listed in Google’s online help. Each entry typically includes the syntax, the capabilities, and an example.
Some of the search operators won’t work as intended if you put a space between the colon (:) and the subsequent query word. If you don’t care to check which search operators require no space after the colon, always place the keyword immediately next to the colon. Many search operators can appear anywhere in your query. Allinanchor: If you start your query with allinanchor:, Google restricts results to pages containing all query terms you specify in the anchor text on links to the page.

A thoroughly entertaining beginner’s guide to data and analytics. Confused by cross-channel analytics? Bewildered by big data? Stupefied by structured data? Well I’m not surprised. Who wouldn’t be? It’s a big world of complicated words, terms and phrases that can intimidate even the most digital savvy of webmasters wishing to dig deeper into the information their website has been quietly amassing over the last few years.
Help is at hand though, in the form of this very beginner's guide. I have written it in the form of a glossary, as it seemed the clearest method of presentation. This is for anyone whose had a rudimentary glance at Google Analytics, or spent a little time in the Site Stats of their WordPress site, or has a copy of our Measurement and Analytics Report but has yet to open it. We call these people the intrigued but slightly baffled. Analytics A good one to start with obviously. When we talk about ‘using analytics’ we are often talking about a specific platform (Google Analytics, Omniture) built to measure the traffic coming to our websites.
