Local newsrooms across the country are disappearing, but there's at least one potential watchdog left: you! Doing journalism yourself might sound intimidating, but once you know the process, it becomes totally approachable.

A Newsroom of Two: Your Computer and You (Workshop)
Abstract

About the host
Hello, I'm Brandon Roberts, an independent computational journalist who has worked with ProPublica, the Associated Press and various investigative newsrooms in the US and internationally. I didn't start at large news organizations, though. I got my start running my own investigative newspaper and made a lot of avoidable mistakes in the process. I believe that knowing how to produce rigorous journalism both improves communities and makes people more aware of bias and falehoods in what they read.
