Meine Liste der 10 besten Journalisten-Tools
© mipan – Fotolia.com Vor zwei Wochen hatte ich dazu aufgerufen, meine Liste der besten Journalisten-Tools zu ergänzen. Viele User haben sich gemeldet und ich habe das ein oder andere Tool neu entdeckt. Nun heute wie versprochen meine persönliche Top 10 der besten Journalisten-Tools. 1. Evernote Das zweite Gedächtnis in der Cloud wird für mich persönlich immer wichtiger: Die Themenplanung für diese Seite und fast alle Recherche-Ergebnisse landen in Evernote. Aber, das ist der Haken: Der Sinn und Zweck von Evernote erschließt sich einem nicht auf den ersten Blick. Unter dem Schlagwort “Evernote” finden Sie hier auf Journalisten-Tools.de zahlreiche Artikel zu diesem Cloud-Speicher. 2. Logo: Twitter.com “Ach, das habe ich auf Twitter längst gelesen” geht mir immer wieder durch den Kopf, wenn ich mir ein Kollege etwas vermeintlich Neues erzählen möchte. Wer so gar nicht weiß, was er mit Twitter anfangen soll, dem empfehle ich meine Twitter-Starthilfe für Einsteiger. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Comparison tool JuxtaposeJS creates a visual for stories that show change
Journalists often bring about change through their reporting, but it can't be seen. With JuxtaposeJS, a new image slider created at Northwestern University's Knight Lab, journalists can actually show change by comparing before and after shots. JuxtaposeJS, an easy-to-use image comparison tool, requires little from the user. Just choose two photos you want to compare from Flickr, Dropbox or Google Drive, copy the URL into the tool and adjust the slider to see a before and after effect. JuxtaposeJS creates the embed code, so all you have to do is copy and paste it into your site. It took sophomore Alex Duner, an undergraduate student fellow at the Knight Lab, just under four months to develop the tool. “Stories involve talking about change, so why not show it visually over time,” Duner said. During initial testing, Duner used images of Ukraine’s Independence square – Maidan Nezalezhnosti – before and after the protests.
Play The News: Fun and Games in Digital Journalism
More than ever before we’re consuming news in strange contexts; mixed into a stream of holiday photos on Facebook, alongside comedians’ quips on twitter; between Candy Crush and transit directions on our smartphones. In this environment designers can take liberties with the form of the news package and the ways that audiences can interact. But it’s not just users who are invited to experiment with their news: in newsrooms and product development departments, developers and journalists are adopting play as design and authoring process. Maxwell Foxman‘s new Tow Center report, Play The News: Fun and Games in Digital Journalism is a comprehensive documentation of this world. You can download your copy here. Chapter 1: History and Discourses Chapter 2: Features of Play The second chapter establishes some of the common attributes of games and play in current digital news products. Chapter 3: Newsroom Culture at Play Chapter 4: Games and Play as Business Models Chapter 5: Challenges to Play Related
