Jak wygląda weryfikacja zdjęć w dużych agencjach? Z jakimi nowymi wyzwaniami mierzą się dziś fotoreporterzy? I jak social media wykorzystywane są w wojnie informacyjnej?

Vielfalt, Diversität und die Repräsentation marginalisierter Gruppen bleiben in den meisten Medienhäusern Lippenbekenntnisse. Wie sind die Teams aufgestellt? Wie wird berichtet? Welche Sprache wird benutzt? Diese Fragen werden dennoch in den letzten Jahren ernster genommen und sind elementar für den Journalismus der Zukunft. Die deutsche Medienlandschaft hinkt jedoch beim Thema Diversität im internationalen Vergleich hinterher. Welche strukturellen Veränderungen können zu mehr Vielfalt in der Berichterstattung führen? Netzwerke innerhalb und außerhalb von Unternehmen sind gerade in der Medienbranche wichtig, um Menschen u.a. in ihrem beruflichen Werdegang zu bestärken. Isabelle Sonnenfeld, Leiterin des Google News Lab in der DACH-Region, berichtet darüber in einer neuen Folge des MTM-Podcasts.

Witaj w 166. odcinku podcastu Marketing MasterClass. Gościem dzisiejszego odcinka jest Piotr Zieliński, który jest dziennikarzem, reporterem i scenarzystą. Z Piotrem porozmawiamy o współczesnych mediach tradycyjnych i społecznościowych, a także o tym, dlaczego dobry research jest tak ważnym elementem w pisaniu tekstów. Pamiętaj żeby słuchając robić notatki, te poniżej na pewno Ci w tym pomogą. Praca w mediach • Kondycja mediów w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej różni się od tych w Europie Zachodniej. Wielu dziennikarzy nie pracuje na pełny etat, można spotkać wielu freelancerów i jest duża rotacja. • Telewizja lubi ludzi młodych, pełnych energii, bo praca ta wymaga poświęcenia. • Będąc na studiach dziennikarskich można już pracować, np. pisząc teksty lub robiąc research. • Piotr pracował w Onet.TV, a następnie w TVN w różnych formatach: scenarzysty, reportera, a także jako dokumentalista i wydawca. Zmiany i nowe projekty • Świat telewizji się zmienia, ponieważ oglądalność spada. • Wydawca, czyli szef danego programu musi znaleźć tematy, które nie były jeszcze poruszane, co wymaga dużej kreatywności. • Spadek oglądalności spowodował większą presję w redakcji. • Piotr stał się bardziej menedżerem, który zarządza dużym zespołem i projektami i zaczęło mu brakować dziennikarstwa, co było motywacją do zmiany. • Podczas pracy w telewizji stale pisał teksty do innych mediów. • Dołączył do Polskiej Szkoły Reportażu, gdzie poznał osoby, z którymi mógł rozmawiać o reportażach, co dodało mu odwagi do rezygnacji z telewizji. jak zaistnieć jako ekspert telewizyjny, jak dotrzeć do dziennikarza, jak pojawić się w telewizji, gdzie wysłać swój pomysł na reportaż telewizyjny, jak działają media, jak zrobić dobry research, jak sprawdzać informacje, jak odróżnić fake news, gdzie weryfikować informacje, jakie są elementy dobrego tekstu, jak dobrze pisać, jak pisać lepiej, sposoby na dobre pisanie, Magdalena Pawłowska, Piotr Zieliński• Projekt Media Leaders pomógł ostatecznie podjąć decyzję o zmianie w karierze zawodowej. • Podejmując decyzję o zmianie warto mieć wizję, co chcemy robić dalej. • Warto ryzykować i nie bać się zmiany. • Potraktuj staż jako drogę do sprawdzenia się i obserwacji. Dzięki przetestowaniu się zmniejszysz ryzyko niepowodzenia. Research • Obecnie jest bardzo wiele fałszywych informacji. • Kiedyś informacje z mediów były traktowane jako pewne. • Rolę mediów tradycyjnych przejmują social media, gdzie również mamy do czynienia z nieprawdziwymi informacjami. • Ciężko zweryfikować kilka artykułów dziennie pod względem merytorycznym. • Trzeba szukać miejsc, gdzie jest wartościowe dziennikarstwo. • Google News Lab, to miejsce, które ma dążyć do stworzenia lepszej kondycji dla dziennikarstwa w przyszłości, np. poprzez szkolenia. • Piotr jest jednym ze szkoleniowców w Google News Lab, gdzie uczy dziennikarzy z zakresu nowych mediów, fact checkingu, czy jak używać w dziennikarstwie różnych narzędzi, np. do weryfikacji informacji i robienia lepszego researchu. • Research jest podstawową kompetencją dziennikarza. • Informacja musi być sprawdzona w kilku źródłach. • Fake newsy działają na emocjach, gdzie im bardziej chwytliwy nagłówek, tym lepiej. Jest to manipulacja informacją. • Warto skorzystać z programów fact-checkingowych, które pomogą Ci zweryfikować prawdziwość informacji, np. Konkret 24. • Obecnie ciężko się skoncentrować na długich tekstach w Internecie, przez co nie potrafimy wyciągać własnych wniosków, czy nie możemy się skupić podczas czytania książki. • Warto poznać różne opinie, aby mieć własną i uruchomić procesy myślowe. • Im więcej czytamy, lepiej piszemy. Elementy dobrego tekstu • Merytoryka, aby dostarczać wartościowy tekst, bez oszukiwania czytelnika. • Stosuj nagłówki, które mają odzwierciedlenie w tekście. • Media to emocje, czego nie rozumieją PR-owcy. • Historia ludzi zawsze sprzyja tekstowi. • Liczby, statystyki, dane i opinie ekspertów potwierdzają merytorykę. Media Leaders • Wydawca otrzymuje ogromną ilość propozycji od osób, które chcą wystąpić w programie takim jak Dzień Dobry TVN. • Przez frustrację związaną z ilością zgłoszeń i informacji prasowych zdecydował o edukowaniu PR-owców, w jaki sposób się komunikować z wydawcami. • Były to bezpłatne warsztaty i spotkania dla PR-owców i zainteresowanych światem medialnym. • PR-owcy nie mają wiedzy, jak media wyglądają w środku. • Dziennikarz oczekuje ludzkiej historii, na podstawie której może stworzyć dobry reportaż lub eksperta, który skomentuje jakąś sytuację. • Dostrzegając zainteresowanie tematem zaczął tworzyć szkolenia płatne o byciu ekspertem telewizyjnym, czy z nauki pisania do mediów. • Warto dywersyfikować swoje działania i umiejętności. • Wzrost jakości w mediach tradycyjnych przyczyni się do wzrostu jakości materiałów w social mediach. • Ludzie klikają w edukację i rozrywkę. • Warto próbować działać w różnych obszarach i wyciągać wnioski. • Szukaj pozaszkolnych form uczenia się. Pisanie tekstów • Warto dużo czytać, aby lepiej pisać. • Zapisz się na kursy, aby poprawić swój styl pisania. • Pisząc warto mieć przygotowany plan. • Pisz tak, aby być zadowolonym z efektów. • Cecha dziennikarza - umiejętność krytycznego podejścia do swoich tekstów. • Słuchanie uwag na temat swojego teksty i poprawianie go pomoże Ci w ulepszaniu umiejętności pisania. Finalna rada Piotra: Każdy ma inspirującą historię, którą warto opisać. Jeśli masz na siebie pomysł i jesteś ekspertem w danej dziedzinie, to pamiętaj, że dziennikarze poszukują nowych ekspertów. Jeśli chcesz pojawiać się w mediach to odzywaj się do dziennikarzy bezpośrednio. Osadź swój temat w historii, aby podzielić się nią ze światem. Miej odwagę wyjść ze swojego świata i kontaktować się z mediami. Pisanie jest podstawową kompetencją i warto ją rozwijać poprzez kursy.

HISTÓRICO TRUMP. Donald Trump entró este miércoles en la historia como el único presidente de Estados Unidos en ser sometido a dos juicios políticos.  En una decisión insólita, diez diputados republicanos han votado a favor de censurar a Donald Trump en la Cámara de Representantes, el paso previo a la destitución definitiva, que ahora recae sobre el Senado.  La resolución del impeachment afirma que «el presidente Trump puso en grave peligro la seguridad de Estados Unidos y sus instituciones. Amenazó la integridad del sistema democrático, interfirió en el traspaso de poderes y puso en peligro otra rama de gobierno. De ese modo, traicionó la confianza depositada en él como presidente, en perjuicio manifiesto del pueblo de EE.UU.» El único cargo contra el presidente es de «incitación a la insurrección».  Sólo si el Senado aprueba la destitución de Trump, puede abrirse la vía para que el presidente saliente no se vuelva a presentar a unas elecciones. Para ello, deben votar a favor de expulsarlo dos tercios de los senadores.  Tras las elecciones en Georgia, cada partido tiene 50 escaños en esa Cámara Alta. El mandato de Trump se acaba el 20 de enero al mediodía.  CNN   CHILE SIGUE VACUNANDO. El Presidente Sebastián Piñera se refirió a la llegada a del tercer cargamento de vacunas contra el coronavirus de los laboratorios Pfizer y BioNTech, esta vez con 88.725 dosis, las cuales servirán, según indicó, para terminar la vacunación del personal de salud e iniciar la inoculación de los adultos mayores. El último cargamento arribado este miércoles se convirtió en el más cuantioso que ha arribado al país andino y se suma a las más de 21.400 vacunas recibidas anteriormente, totalizando 110.175 dosis ingresadas. LA TERCERA STARTUP PREMIADA. La compañía de San Rafael, California, CubiOs Inc. ha sido distinguida en la categoría de innovación de CES 2021 por su sistema de entretenimiento WOWCube. Al mejor estilo cubo de Rubik (el juguete más vendido de la historia), en lugar de las piezas de plástico, está compuesto por 8 módulos de cubos separados conectados entre sí. Cada uno es un dispositivo independiente con tres pantallas de alta resolución y una CPU en su interior. Permite jugar videojuegos que se ejecutan en las 24 pantallas que cubren 6 lados del dispositivo simultáneamente.  Desde la startup desde donde nace el proyecto señalan que ayuda a estimular el desarrollo cognitivo de los niños. En CubiOs Inc. dicen que están construyendo un ecosistema completamente nuevo de juegos, widgets y aplicaciones para este sistema de entretenimiento. WowCube KOBRA KAI. La serie Kobra Kai ya tiene una cuarta tanda de episodios confirmada y su historia está completamente planeada. Con los deberes hechos, los showrunners miran más allá del horizonte, con el objetivo puesto en expandir el universo de 'Karate Kid', con un spin-off de la serie protagonizada por William Zabka y Ralph Macchio.Sus creadores quieren un spin-off de Kreese a lo Breaking Bad.  FOTOGRAMAS   LO NUEVO DE TOM HOLLAND. Cherry es la última colaboración entre la estrella de Spider-Man Tom Holland y los directores de Avengers: Endgame, Joe y Anthony Russo, y se espera que se estrene en los cines en febrero antes de lanzarse en Apple TV + en marzo.  La semana pasada, el dúo de directores publicó el primer avance de la película, que presentaba un clip del personaje de Holland que se unió al Ejército.  Hoy, los hermanos recurrieron a las redes sociales una vez más para adelantar que mañana se lanzará un nuevo avance de la película.  RUSSO BROTHERS   INFORMACIÓN VERIFICADA.  En su último esfuerzo por promover información verdadera verificada, Google apoya los intentos de combatir las falsedades sobre las vacunas COVID-19.  Su Iniciativa Google News proporcionará hasta $ 3 millones en subvenciones a periodistas y verificadores de hechos que estén abordando información falsa sobre la vacuna.  El objetivo del fondo abierto es "llegar a audiencias que normalmente están desatendidas o son objetivo de información errónea", escribió Alexios Mantzarlis, líder de credibilidad de noticias e información en Google News Lab, en una publicación de blog.  Las organizaciones de noticias con un "historial probado" en desacreditar falsedades y verificación de hechos son elegibles para las subvenciones, al igual que los socios de dichos grupos.  GOOGLE   APPLE CONTRA LA DESIGUALDAD. Apple ha lanzado una nueva iniciativa para combatir el racismo e impulsar la "equidad racial" en los Estados Unidos. En un comunicado de prensa, la compañía reveló varios proyectos nuevos que serán parte de su Iniciativa de Justicia y Equidad Racial.  La iniciativa de $ 100 millones tiene como objetivo desmantelar las "barreras sistémicas" a las oportunidades y la lucha contra las injusticias que enfrentan las comunidades de color.  Uno de los proyectos es el Propel Center, que Apple describe como "un centro de aprendizaje e innovación global único en su tipo para las universidades y universidades históricamente negras (HBCU)". APPLESFERA COLABORACIÓN ESTELAR. Modern Sunrise-MOD SUN- y Avril Lavigne colaboran para lanzar Flames. El tema que forma parte del que se convertirá en el cuarto álbum de estudio del rapero estadounidense. Y queda claro que la vuelta de Avril Lavigne con un nuevo disco de pop punk es ya una realidad.  La canción comienza con la suave voz de Lavigne hasta llegar a un coro más explosivo cantado por MOD SUN.

On the podcast this week, we have a great interview with Google Developer Advocate, Dale Markowitz. Aja Hammerly and Jon Foust are your hosts, as we talk about machine learning, its best use cases, and how developers can break into machine learning and data science. Dale talks about natural language processing as well, explaining that it’s basically the intersection of machine learning and text processing. It can be used for anything from aggregating and sorting Twitter posts about your company to sentiment analysis. For developers looking to enter the machine learning space, Dale suggests starting with non life-threatening applications, such as labeling pictures. Next, consider the possible mistakes the application can make ahead of time to help mitigate issues. To help prevent the introduction of bias into the model, Dale suggests introducing it to as many different types of project-appropriate data sets as possible. It’s also important to continually monitor your model. Later in the show, we talk Google shop, learning about all the new features in Google Translate and AutoML.

Matt Cooke is Head of Partnerships & Training, Google News Lab, part of the Google News Initiative. Google News has been a major factor in completely changing how news is indexed, distributed, discovered and consumed. That's because the internet has changed news distribution to include you, the reader, the audience, yes you, you control what you want to see, when you want to see it. Alongside sharing and self-publishing on social media, Google indexing news has completely changed the industry.  Matt's now spent almost as much time building Google News Labs as he did working at the BBC, on news and, memorably, as presenter of BBC Three's 60 Second News. He thinks that transparency is the key to winning audience trust, and he cites this well-known BBC Africa Twitter thread as an example of showing the inner workings of journalism for the greater good. Despite working in a very digital world, though, Matt still buys his trusty local newspaper once a week. This episode is packed full of his insights into digital journalism, and his advice for journalists who've reached a crossroads in their careers. -- How has your industry moved from analogue to digital?

Method To The Madness

Host Lisa Kiefer talks with Ed Bice, co-founder and CEO of MEEDAN, a San Francisco company building digital tools and programs that promote collaborative verification, annotation and translation for global journalism in the fight against 'fake news.'TRANSCRIPTSpeaker 1:Your listening to method to the madness or weekly public affairs show on k a l x Berkeley Celebrating Bay area innovators. I'm your host, Lisa Keifer. And today I'm interviewing Ed Bice, cofounder and CEO of media, San Francisco Company building digital tools that assist global journalists in the battle against fake news. You're on the front lines of what is kind of a hostile [00:00:30] environment to journalists right now. Yup. Let's talk about what technologies you're enabling to help journalists out there. Speaker 2:Journalism has been embattled for a long, long time. The shift we've seen in the journalism threat model in the last five years is we went from worrying about where revenues are coming from. We solved that issue in part by thinking about new commissioned content models and, and then suddenly we woke [00:01:00] up with a new president, this crazy lunatic in the White House. And we looked inward as journalism and journalism tech community and, and we noticed that, that we had lost trust and we'd lost our ability to assert a set of facts and have those prove more durable and influential than a set of provably not facts. And I think that we went from this deep despair over [00:01:30] not having a really good revenue business model to a more existential threat of really not having the words that were writing and the, the stories that we're publishing have influence and have meaning. Speaker 2:And this is, this is a deeper crisis than, than uh, the business model. Is this when you founded or cofounded meet and, no, we have to go way back. Median has been around since [00:02:00] very early days of social web. It started with the war in Iraq protest and I'm sure many of your listeners where we're at, the protests in the bay area, on the first day that we started dropping bombs, it was a profound global moment. It was the first time I f I felt globally networked even though I'd been on the Internet since it wasn't Internet. There was on that day, this awareness that hundreds of marches were happening around [00:02:30] the world, literally tens of millions of people were taking to the streets to say, this is not what we want. This is not how we should respond. Second Year of the post nine 11 era feels so naive now. Speaker 2:But I remember thinking as I was walking the streets of San Francisco that wow, this is what it looks like when we're able to change influence history. And, and there was really a sense that the power of this many people could do it. I went [00:03:00] with, um, my good friend Rouge Giuseppe, uh, who is, he was a human rights photographer who had worked in El Salvador Rouge and I were kind of separated and there were some people blocking market street and I was standing on the sidewalk and I can still kind of imagine the, uh, bald, very tall, very large policemen, uh, reached out, grabbed me from the sidewalk, pulled me into the street and said, you can't be in the street. I'm arresting you. There are good cops. This was a bad [00:03:30] cop. I was not intending to be arrested that day, but I was arrested along with I think 1300 other people, straps around the risks and put on the bus and hauled over to pier 39. Speaker 2:And I didn't know it at the time. I would've, I would've kissed the guy if I had known how he would have changed my life at the time. I wrote an email from that experience, send it to five friends via, I think it was an AOL online email account. And, uh, [00:04:00] one of those friends who was, uh, an environmental scientist wrote back and his dad had started a tool company. He built it up and he and his wife had inherited some money and he said, ed, I want to publish your, the email that you've sent, you know, in my email, questioned what we're doing post nine 11, you know, with my experience as, as a person who had traveled in the Muslim world and who had had homes open to me and just who had just such a different understanding [00:04:30] of the world. You know, I also had the experience of studying with Paul Wells, stone in college, and, and so I had this latent to activism, right? Speaker 2:And, and I expressed that into this email, you know, just what, what, what the hell are we doing? This is crazy. We're creating generations of, of misery for, for this sculpture. And they Rakhi people. And he wrote back and said, I want to publish this as a full page run in the New York Times so that people can have a different perspective on what's going on. And I know it sounds [00:05:00] crazy, but this feels to me like this incredibly important moment in history. Within 10 minutes I wrote him back, I'll do this, but it's not my, I'm not gonna publish my words in the New York Times. I'm going to go out and find statements from people in Iraq and people in Palestine. I'm going to put those beside statements from Americans and Israelis and we're going to start this peoples opinion project. We will run this as a full page ad in the New York Times and we will go out and source this content [00:05:30] from around the world and it'll get people thinking it'll be provocative. Speaker 2:The idea was that we would do this, we would publish it, people would be so moved that they would send us money and we would do this again. And we'd start placing authentic, translated content from around the world, you know, into the New York Times. And, and, and kind of expand then to other papers and presses and, and, and is this the digital New York Times or was this the pace? This was the ink [00:06:00] and paper New York Times. And so in June of 2003 w we ran a full page ad that said in our efforts to bring democracy to the people of the world, we keep forgetting about the people of the world and then had these translated voices below that. And it was very inspiring and it didn't work. We know that in terms of the amount of money that it takes to produce and place and ad that goes out to 3 million Sunday [00:06:30] Times readers and the amount of revenue res we received back from that project, you know, it was an utter failure. Speaker 2:We had a, a short lived organization called the People's opinion project and did global opinion polling. So, so we showed some of the early trends around global opinion of us post nine 11 and post Iraq invasion. That was pretty profound. We were able to, to show that, you know, our actions had resulted [00:07:00] in this kind of loss of faith or trust in America. You mentioned that you had experienced in the Arab world. Did you live there? What was your I traveled and it wasn't the Arab world actually, although all of our work since then has been, but I traveled through Pakistan, through northern Pakistan and into western China Karakorum Highway. It's incredibly beautiful. The way we were treated there was, it was, um, it was formative. Anyone who's listening to this who hasn't gone [00:07:30] out into the world and traveled, you know, that that was my most important education from that early experience. Speaker 2:The effort in ethos early on was that the media diet, it leads to these really narrow perceptions, which in turn support ill-advised policy decisions. We wanted to broaden that and we saw the internet as a means of doing that. So everything we did in the early days had an online component. [00:08:00] You know, at the time I was, um, I was designing homes designed background, this like, this is a design problem. How do we diversify the media ecosystem? And the thing that we hit on early, early on was that language was such a fundamentally missing piece that the Internet was even in those days and this pre Facebook, but even in those days, the Internet was going to millions and millions and millions of people all around [00:08:30] the world. And it was a bunch of linguistically siloed communities. So no translation, there was no sense. Yeah. Not to speak of. Speaker 2:And any machine translation was so bad back then that fundamentally useless from that initial failed experiment, I started pounding the pavement, knocking on doors, calling people. And we've got the intention of an Israeli and Palestinian engineer at Carnegie Mellon University's language Technologies Institute [00:09:00] and that put in motion the last 12 years, which, which the patent for that, uh, translation, uh, you with, with, uh, a great technologist too who worked in Senator Leahy's office actually, is this when you founded this is, yes. So 2006. Yeah. Fast forward 2006 and there's, there's a hilarious story of which I think I've never told publicly. Shortly after the, uh, idea, Kinda jelled and the, these guys at Carnegie Mellon are like, yes, let's do this. And, and this [00:09:30] serious linguistic scientist is like, yeah, a crowdsourced human plus machine translation with a reputation model behind it. These are great ideas. We should, we should write this up and for what it's worth, we have a patent on this and still needed some money to do this right. Speaker 2:So one of my dearest friends in the world, his stepfather's uncle, really, really successful banker in New York. And I asked for a meeting, pretty nervous, but his family had, [00:10:00] had, um, escaped the Holocaust and I knew that he was pretty motivated to contribute back. So I went into his office overlooking Central Park. I had quit my job. I had done crazy things which were unpopular with my family to try to get this thing off the ground. And so I went into his office with very quite nervous and penniless. Uh, I gave him the pitch and I said, you know, language technology plus this thing called the Internet. [00:10:30] Imagine that must've appealed to him because you're getting at the truth. Yeah. Yeah. He looked at me and he pointed at this picture of his grandfather at the end of the conference table. He said, Mr Bias, my, my grandfather is smiling down on you today in 1904 or something like this. Speaker 2:A Swedish dentist walked into my grandfather's office and dressed in with a vision for language impacting global peace. And I looked at him and I said, Esperanto, [00:11:00] I was going to say that, yes, that came out of the same kind of divisiveness. And he said, precisely, Huh? My grandfather funded Esperanto and I'm going to give you some seed funding to try to put this idea in. Motion. Language is such a fundamental divider. It's not a surprise that many people have said, oh, if only we could talk a common language, you know, the world would be a better place. So that put in motion, meet Dan and MacArthur Foundation was one of those friends. The real break for [00:11:30] us came when IBM put two of their research labs at our disposal. You know, we've had partnerships with IBM and now have a good partnership with Google, Google News Lab, you know, their interest is in seeing more data. And so IBM's interest was in us using this network to bring in more human data on top of the machine processing so that they can improve their models with Google news lab. Now we're looking at how we bring in more credibility, how we can get journalists writing indicators of a, [00:12:00] an article's credibility. Speaker 1:If you're just tuning in, you're listening to method to the madness, a weekly public affairs show on k a l x Berkeley Celebrating Bay area innovators. Today I'm interviewing Ed Bice, the cofounder and CEO of me, Dan, a San Francisco Company building digital tools and programs that promote collaborative verification and rotation and translation supporting journalists around the world. [00:12:30] So are you a nonprofit? Yeah, so we [inaudible] Speaker 2:uh, three years ago we were offered a big contract to do software development with one of the large social networks and so we, we did form a for profit. Then and the nonprofit has an equity stake in that. We are a unique hybrid. 98% of our work is with the nonprofit. Now I first heard about, or read about me Dan with the Arab spring, all the protests and you all were pretty instrumental [00:13:00] in translation. Yeah. Yeah. So as soon as we started meeting in, we hired a small team in Cairo and started working on translating Arab media and, and commentary on that media and putting that alongside a US versions of that media or western English language versions of that media and translating the English language into Arabic. So we, we built kind of the Internet's first bilingual side by side news site. We had roots in Cairo. Speaker 2:[00:13:30] Some of our good friends were in the middle of the the revolution and, and still are, um, we still have deep connections with Kairos, still have employees there. We spun off a media project there two years ago that was just blocked by the state of Egypt when we were doing translation work during Arab spring. The stuff that was coming off of Twitter and Youtube and Facebook was incredibly important. We found that having no way to provide [00:14:00] notes about the sources of that content, uh, no way to really do investigations into the, the assertions made in that media. We felt like that was an area that deserved some development. So we went to, um, some of our funders and said, hey, why don't you help us next phase of media and it's going to be about not just translation on top of the social content, but also a verification and annotation, [00:14:30] annotation, building context, helping and you have specific products for that. Speaker 2:I was reading about. Yeah. So, so check is, is that product that came out of bar experiences and, and it's, and it's intended to be really simple. It's a tool that allows for collaborative verification notes. It also performs some machine processes, like makes it easy for a journalist to go out and look at the reverse image search. Uh, [00:15:00] so if, if a piece of social media contains an image, uh, we provide a quick link that says, okay, here's where that image has appeared elsewhere. So if you see that it actually came from 10 years ago in Sudan in is not a picture of a current protest in Egypt. Say you've saved yourself a a an embarrassing moment because we are kind of early to that verification space. Google news lab came to us three years ago when they were starting the first draft initiative. So we are one [00:15:30] of handful of NGOs and media orgs that came together to form the first draft group, which is been doing amazing research trainings, kind of leading a lot of the important work in news verification and fact checking space. Speaker 2:Um, and it's run by a brilliant woman named Claire Wartell who was a before that or the research director at the Tau Center, the Columbia School of journalism and, and first draft is on a, uh, [00:16:00] a steep growth curve. And, and so I think you'll continue to see a lot of really great things coming out of that organization. And I think our contributions to that have been one of the really big success stories out of me. Dan, let's talk about election land, which is an amazing moment in journalism history. The election land project was, um, spun out of that same first draft, Google news lab, me, Dan, but, uh, with the Google trends team and Propublica [00:16:30] in the lead. So propublica really, really loved prep. Yeah. They're amazing. Really great people. So 94 days before the election, I got invited to Washington DC to meet with Scott Klein and from propublica and, uh, Simon Rogers from Google trends and, uh, Clair from first draft and small set of people. Speaker 2:And they're like, well, we want to do nationwide election monitoring, you know, with a thousand journalists [00:17:00] 90 days from now. Uh, yeah. And at this point we were in, in a rewrite of, of our software. And so I said, yes, of course. So it was, it was a mad dash to pull that project together. And it's now collecting all sorts of awards. There's now a case study, uh, we've recreated this, uh, for the French election now with a project called crosscheck and a UK general election project as well with a popup newsroom component that had [00:17:30] a bunch of journalism school students together. So the model is evolving. Election monitoring has historically just been this, you know, big agencies checking boxes and observing things. And so this is really the recognition that the Internet, the social media landscape is this incredibly valuable area to do election monitoring to understand how elections are, are working in real time and try to respond to that. Speaker 2:So, so I think [00:18:00] there's something really important in this. The outcome was that you discovered there was no election fraud. Yeah, yeah. Shortly after the election, Trump was saying there was fraud. Yeah. So has he not seen this data now? He, um, you know, the, the, the irony is that w, you know, 94 days before the election, Trump had not talked about vote rigging. So we're, we're starting this project and we were like, Yep, you know, we're going to be in an amazing [00:18:30] position to look at voter day issues. And then, I don't know, 30 days, 40 days later, Trump says the vote's going to be rigged. And we're like, oh my God, he's just, he's doing our advertising, you know, marketing this project and, and, and making it incredibly important. But there were hundreds of articles that were filed from the findings on election day. Speaker 2:So the, the model that we had was, uh, work with a bunch of journalism school students and 300 local [00:19:00] media partners and source these stories in real time. I mean, it was a, it was a remarkable and remarkably complex operation, but we were signaling out to reporters during election day and the result of those signals was, I want to say between two and 300 stories may be off on that in terms of the comprehensive view from, there wasn't voter fraud. Propublica did a series of stories on that. Okay. So that was major, that was a pivotal moment, [00:19:30] but very costly, right? Yeah. Costly. Costly in terms of we had a hundred people in the CUNY, a journalism school newsroom on election nights. A certainly there's costs getting all those people together, but when you think about the person hours, we had a thousand journalists using the software. We had about 700 in check and about a thousand on the slack. Speaker 2:We use slack as a communication back end for the project. When you think about the person hours [00:20:00] that went into that, that came out of that project was pretty efficient investment. So this will continue. I would be shocked if we didn't do midterms and, and sh I believe election land is a models going forward and I think that first draft and pop up newsroom as global election monitoring efforts and, and the research that comes out of that is gonna. I think we've invented a whole new mode of election monitoring and, and I think it's gonna [00:20:30] be a really powerful and important tool, especially as we see the kind of weaponization, the misinformation campaigns that are now being waged around elections. The Bot armies that are being deployed to just, you know, misinformation. All of this needs to be addressed in, in efforts that identify and call out misinformation, disinformation campaigns in, [00:21:00] in the runup and, and, uh, into election day. Speaker 2:David Remnick New Yorker, he talks about this as the golden age of ignorance. Yeah. We're in, how do we, uh, fight the media moguls who take over, for instance, the guy who owns national enquirers now trying to take Time magazine. And all of those assorted of magazines and that's editorial content that how, how do we get around that kind of gaming? The answer used to be the Internet, you know the Internet, it'll save us [00:21:30] from, from this. Have you guys all talked about that you, you were just at a conference in Italy International Journalism Festival at a certain level, the same consumer appetite that had people clicking onto bula and Outbrain's ads as a means of supporting serious journalism is now supplanting serious journalism with that sort of reporting in there. There are some good signs in subscription models and [00:22:00] what's happening for the post and the Times. Speaker 2:There's a lot of people who are saying, Oh okay, we do need to pay for this. And maybe that's one positive trend out of all of this. But the idea that people who are just dead set to promote agenda driven media are, are going to control influential. You know, Fox News feels, feels very innocent in comparison, [00:22:30] you know, with these efforts. So the idea that you know, that Breitbart would become as influential as foxes is, is David Pecker with the time empire? If that happens, it's terrifying. So that's continuing this silo, like people who believe a certain way, they know which outlets to go to and you and I may go to Propublican read what we know to be the truth. Are we never going to have the mediation between these groups through journalism that [00:23:00] that's the hope. But I mean really the, the deepest hope for journalism is that, um, the truth, uh, has more weight than untruth, you know, if that is thrown out then, then the sorting mechanism, just his, because it all is in, is all about the truth. Speaker 2:It's, it's there. It's supposed to help us. Yeah. Yeah. I, I think that we're in some, some really, really dark days and, and that, [00:23:30] these technologies that we thought were, you know, so liberating and so empowering and the wisdom of the crowd that would, that would surface and, and, and the sort of Wikipedia model re across human knowledge that would have affordances for editing and annotating and revising every object knowledge until it came to the point that was like, was better [00:24:00] or more true as we wade into conversations around the truth. One thing is that working in a global context, you're really humble about this truth. You recognize that there are a thousand truths that describe an important piece of every event. It's not just to descend into total relativism, but to acknowledge that context is, is always dependent on a cultural framing, [00:24:30] the reader framing the understanding the source better. Speaker 2:So I feel like I want to offer this disclaimer that as, as I'm saying, you know, we need the truth to mean more that I'm not saying there's not just there, there is one truth in the end and you don't have no, nor should there be one arbiter of the truth. And, and right now the one thing is very concerning for journalism is, is the, is the fact that Google and and Facebook are distributing and Twitter distributing, you know, these, these [00:25:00] are distribution pipelines that are so dominant right now, surely in terms of how the search algorithms and newsfeed are influencing what we're getting on a daily basis in our media diet. Those are the platforms that are very, very serious about saying we don't want to be arbiters of truth, but the algorithms that power newsfeed in power search are arbiters of meaning. And that is, is a pretty close proxy for truth. Speaker 2:You know, I think [00:25:30] we're in some really dark early days of understanding, um, how these systems, uh, were where it a failure point I think there is resolve to try to do better. And that's, that's, that's changed a lot since, uh, early November. They understand the problem and neither one of them is, is saying, oh, we need to build a truth algorithm, which is really good. And our role over the next year is going to be helping think about how signals from journalists [00:26:00] are treated by those platforms. So having a way of looking at how 30 or 40 different journalists from around the world are, are viewing a claim that might be circulating and, and then surfacing that into a Google search result as as a fact check. Would it post an alert to the yes or Google started doing this already. So Google and in some cases if you're on Google news and article contains [00:26:30] a claim that has been fact checked, they're just in this just in the last month starting to surface. Speaker 2:In fact check Facebook has dispute. We can better structure signals into those types of systems. I really respect the technology building you're doing for journalists. I think it's, it's really important. I worry about the flip side of that. There is less curiosity today because of some of the technologies that have been built. Readers become [00:27:00] lazy. They don't do the deep connecting. They put trust where they shouldn't. What do we do about that? That, I mean it's, the technology is partly to blame for that. Before we had to open an unfolded the newspaper. Yeah, it is nanny's garden next to, you know, bombing in Yemen. I think the response to that is, well, two things, decay of society motivates people to realize that sitting [00:27:30] back and allowing the media system to decay has some real bad consequences. But also thinking about tools that allow people to, to feel that they have, um, more agency than just putting up a, uh, a smiley face or a, you know, a, a sobbing face in those go to structural issues with the web. Speaker 2:How do we Wikipedia FY the Internet in a better way [00:28:00] so that even citizens can write signals in a structured way that a journalist who wants to take in those signals or who's looking for them or who's maybe gotten a really credible signal from that person before might look at and say, oh my God, this needs to be written about because it's going to change this story. What's coming up for you in the future? Bridge is our translation project. So we're working to bring that product into open [00:28:30] source and we're also looking to integrate bridge as a translation solution with check, which is verification solution. So a lot of these events that break around the world are reported outside our language community, giving journalists a good way to get firsthand data, get that professionally translated, then do verification work. On top of that, we're working with some, some stellar partners. Speaker 2:So we've got projects in the pipeline now with the Syria of Video Archive, [00:29:00] uh, which is a really important project to archive and mark up videos, uh, that we hope will have evidentiary value. The Digital Verification Corps, which is, uh, Amnesty International and Berkeley Human Rights Center project. Some of those projects are in the pipeline. We are keen to, to c check in more newsrooms in the u s and to repeat the election work that we've, we've, uh, been doing. If somebody wants to get ahold of you or, [00:29:30] or go to your website, if you could share that with me. Yeah, we're at me, Dan. It's m e e d a n.com. And uh, can always send me an email@helloatmedia.com. That email will go to me and my colleague on show, Mina and, and Tom [inaudible]. Anyone who's interested in contributing to open source software development or helping us think through some of these thorny issues that we're working on that we'd love to hear from you right now is this moment in history. [00:30:00] We need technologists, we need journalists. Uh, but we also need philosophers. I think we are dealing with issues of truth and ethics and we, we've created hugely powerful technologies and maybe we've lost our way. Maybe we needed more philosophers and academics involved in thinking through what this would mean. Speaker 1:Thank you so much and yeah, no, it was, it was my pleasure. That was Ed bice, the Co founder and CEO [00:30:30] of me. Dan, you've been listening to method to the madness, a weekly public affairs show on k a l x Berkeley, celebrating Bay area innovators.
