Publicación de The Self-Investigation

Interesante historia la que comparte Dan Thomas, sobre el papel de la IA en el periodismo de campo, donde puede ser una herramienta maravillosa para filtrar y encontrar datos, pero no sustituye informaciones adicionales que puede obtener la Inteligencia Humana, con sus habilidades cognitivas, emocionales, el pensamiento crítico, la sensibilidad interpersonal en el periodismo de campo que te permite captar el ambiente de la noticia, las informaciones no solo verbales, sino no verbales. La investigación de campo que hacen los científicos sociales, permite captar información relevante de sus fuentes, y la necesaria presencia humana en el sitio, permite obtener información de tus colaboradores, que en la ausencia de los mismos no se daría. Ambas Inteligencias se complementan y coexisten, la IA y la Inteligencia Humana. La primera no sustituye a la primera en estos momentos.

🔂 Let's take a look back at the most recent News Rewired Conference... Impress were in attendance as Journalism.co.uk brought together a fascinating collection of panels and workshops, discussing the current issues facing the world of media and how the future could look. A session on disinformation and AI looked at the problems plaguing journalists. Charlotte M. spoke on how audio deepfakes pose the biggest headache to journalists when it comes to disseminating reality from subterfuge. Jon Roozenbeek delved deeper into how we can combat misinformation and the benefits of inoculation theory - the practice of introducing the idea of misinformation to people so that they are more attuned to it moving forward - highlighting a game he had developed with colleagues at the University of Cambridge that did exactly that. Later in the day, a panel looked at how publishers can adapt to meet the needs of Gen Z audiences, with Jon Birchall, Wale Lawal and Debbie Ramsay analysing how they have changed to cover politics and current affairs, as well as how solutions-focused stories are of particular appeal. Closing out the day was a session on the future of public interest news. The panel, featuring Jonathan Heawood, François Nel, Helen Philpot and Madhav Chinnappa, discussed the need for differences to be put aside between different factions of the media industry to find solutions to a number of pressing issues. Included among these were the threat of SLAPPs and a lack of funding for independent, community publishers. So while it was a day that shone a light on the threats and issues facing journalism, it also offered encouragement. Seeing the willingness of different publishers and industry experts to come together to look for solutions offers hope that many of the problems plaguing the industry can be solved. #Journalism #News #Event #Publishing

If you were asked to provide a text description for the below image, what would you write? Think carefully, the words really do matter.   BBC News digital journalist Johny Cassidy FRSA has been leading on a BBC project to create detailed guidance for all our journalists across the world on how to write the most meaningful and impactful text descriptions for all the images we use. It’s been sponsored by Digital Director Naja Nielsen on behalf of the News Board.   We’re committed to learning about accessibility from those with the lived experience and ensuring visual data journalism is accessible to all audiences, including people like Johny who are blind or use a screen reader.    “The RNIB (Royal Institute of Blind People) estimate that in the UK alone more than 2 million people are living with some sort of sight loss. Across the world the World Health Organisation say it’s more like 236 million and growing as people get older,” Johny explains.   “BBC News is committed to deliver news you can trust to all. Our strategy is called Value for All, and that means everyone. With new technology and commitment we can deliver better value to more of the public – including those who are blind and those who use screen readers.”   The guidance Johny’s been working on and the accompanying mandatory training is currently being piloted and will be rolled out more widely across the BBC in the coming weeks and months. Plus, it’s being published publicly on an external site where he hopes “it’ll be taken up by the wider journalism industry as an easy way to increase accessibility and inclusion and to demonstrate real commitment and value for all”.   For more information about the project and simple tips on writing more impactful alt text, follow the link to Johny’s full post below.   Read the full post: https://bbc.in/3V6IjAw

Este punto es muy interesante cuando exploramos el futuro del periodismo en la región.

We outline the pitfalls of "doing your own research" in this new piece in Columbia Journalism Review. We explain how our combined research — including a study recently published in Nature by Zeve Sanderson and colleagues — confirms something that Jacob Nelson and I found a couple years ago: When people believe they know better than journalists and attempt to do their own fact-checking to determine what's true, they often end up **worse off informationally** and more likely to believe misinformation. Here's a key nugget at the end: "In another recently published study ... we found that although people distrust journalism and healthcare, they trust their own doctors. As a result, the 'doing your own research' trend we observed in journalism was reversed in medicine: Instead of using the internet to corroborate what their doctor said, people went to their doctor to corroborate what they read online. In other words, doctors fact-check, but journalists get fact-checked. "The upside from this study: It’s indeed possible (and arguably beneficial) for people to distrust a profession and trust a professional. We see it in medicine—we just need to figure out how to get there in journalism. (It was great to collaborate with Zeve on this piece for CJR!) #journalism #trust #research #medicine #healthcare #factchecking

So, part 2 of my dialectic dialogue with „Integral Life“ editor-in-chief Corey deVos is out. It contains the so far deepest overview of the integral journalism model. Also, you might see it as the closing video to the wonderful U-Lab process by Otto Scharmer at MIT that an international, interdisciplinary and intergenerational group and I co-created in 2023. If you want to see how a close friend of Ken Wilber reacts to that Theory U process, including our „dance of journalism“ with a media professor embodying Facebook and a videojournalist shifting from the role of the scoundrel politician to a wise world leader - here‘s the link: https://lnkd.in/e5QVbJQx It‘s behind a paywall, but the first month is 1$ - and „Integral Life“ just has a lot of great stuff anyway. Here‘s an extract on how Corey teases the episode: Healing the Infosphere: How Integral Journalism Can Elevate Public Discourse In today’s digital era, the infosphere is a vast and tumultuous sea of information, where news and data churn through the collective consciousness at breakneck speed. This relentless flow presents profound challenges as individuals and societies grapple with the complexities of discerning truth from misinformation, genuine discourse from manipulative rhetoric, and enduring values from fleeting trends. Amidst this chaotic backdrop, the need for a transformative approach to journalism becomes clear — an approach that not only navigates these turbulent waters but also seeks to calm them, providing clarity and insight in a world overwhelmed by noise. In this wide-ranging discussion, Corey deVos talks to Stefan Schultz, a journalist at Der Spiegel magazine, about his model for integral journalism that he has been developing over the past few years. This model, staggering in both its depth and its breadth, examines journalism and media literacy through a developmental lens, looking at how the infosphere shapes society and how journalism can positively influence this process. I feel very honored for this talk. And I‘m just so happy that the little wave I‘m trying to create is slowly getting bigger. And I’m just so grateful for all the support I‘m blessed with. Let‘s channel that beneficial transformative power together into our broken infosphere. Lots of love Stefan
