Science Journalism: 8 months, 4 weeks ago · ViewWe know the impact of Big Data on every field of science — now, editorial decisions in journalism are increasingly data driven, especially thanks to web analytics; see Sonderman http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/top-stories/143389/new-generation-of-web-analytics-applies-big-data-to-newsroom-decisions-visual-revenue-jumptime/
Is data driven journalism something new, or have the top newsrooms and editors always had access to analytics and Google Analytics is a democratization?
Is this a practical emergence of the ”science of journalism?” Theory side, I’m reminded of that phrase in Fuller’s ”What Is Happening to News” http://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/W/bo6974363.html — tapping neuroscience for explanations of how journalism is faring in the information age.
I don’t think data driven journalism is anything to worry about, any more than other tools which could be used for better or worse. Analytics based editorial decisions are not creating modern media consumption, and it only seems more responsible, to me, to be better informed. Bloggers have been watching their logs and analytics for more than ten years, I should hope this is not entirely news to newsrooms.
As far as I can tell, these analytical tools can only assess the quantity of who’s following which stories in terms of volume numbers, but what about the quality? To me it’s more important to have a smaller audience of the RIGHT people, than a generic audience of a larger volume.
If news producers plan to make publishing decisions based solely on traffic volume, then we’re going to run into the same issues of commercial driven media pre-internet, where there was a lacking of true impactual substance in order to match the general tastes of a broader audience. Google Analytics might as well be the new Nielsen.

Welcome @peterblock !
Everybody should check out his ”A Future for Journalism: The Story of What’s Working” from 11 April in the American heartland, Cincinnati, Ohio. Peter says ”This work is proof that there is an audience for long-form narrative.” That’s at http://www.abundantcommunity.com/home/posts/peter_block/parms/1/post/20110411_a_future_for_journalism_the_story_of_whats_working.html

Happy to see you here, @kaarli — clearly we’ve not made much use of this science journalism group! while JTM Online has been slow cooking, but that’s no reason not to start :)
I liked Al Tompkins’ take on the JSOnline Pulitzer, including the need for more multimedia story telling and commentary on challenges in communicating science generally http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/als-morning-meeting/128649/how-pulitzer-prize-winning-explanatory-reporting-project-humanizes-science-of-genetic-detection/

In the meantime Jigsaw is a great place to checkout, they provide public space for workshops and work parties (i.e. Random Hacks of Kindness ), as well as fun stuff like lessons on molecular balloon animals.

1) I have a few ideas and will take a look.
2) a template? what did you want to do specifically? so I understand what you’re looking for. Do you mean a form? If so, some blogs or sites have that ability turned on and others don’t, so please also say for which site you’re thinking. BG

Thanks Peggy, that’s a tough one because it’s due to a bug in Apple’s software which of course, we can’t fix. Other platforms, including the Safari browser in Windows or browsers on regular Mac machines do not have this issue.
iPads and iPhones are not often used to access this site. We could disable the bottom activity bar for everyone, or we could add our voice to the existing request for Apple to fix the problem.
Because this causes a major usability issue for someone with an iPad or iPhone, and because that’s how you are accessing the site (I take it?), for the moment I have disabled the bottom activity bar for everyone. If you would prefer to re-enable it while waiting for Apple, it’s easy to turn back on.
In reply to - Peggy Holman posted an update in the group Help: Hi Brian, No hurry but there’s a display bug when looking at the screen from a phone or iPad in which the bottom bar shows up mid-screen. I’ve attached an image from my iPad via documents. · View -
