@BCUJournalism

Completing today's double bill on scrollytelling, it's great to be able to welcome another @BCUJournalism alumna to speak to MA students: @carolinebeavon on her "lockdown data story" 104 Days Later artdatahealth.org/104-days-later… #bcujournos

@carolinebeavon

Succinctly expressed point by @carolinebeavon on the methodological issues of using social media to conduct surveys: "We're not gathering data at all - we're gathering testimonials". @Typeform was useful for this because people could upload files (recordings)
#bcujournos

@carolinebeavon

3/ ...but only one person uploaded an audio clip, so @carolinebeavon decided to contact respondents who left details to conduct interviews via Zoom in order to generate audiovisual material

4/ (I do love the switch from vertical scroll to horizontal scroll midway through @carolinebeavon's scrollytell (justified by the switch in topic) artdatahealth.org/104-days-later… #bcujournos

@oliviajlawlor

Really happy to be welcoming back MA Data Journalism alumna @oliviajlawlor from @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h to @BCUJournalism to talk to current students as part of a double-header on scrollytelling today
#bcujournos

@f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h

I had no idea that @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h had sports-specific #dataviz templates "to map a player's positions on a field/court" (via @oliviajlawlor) app.flourish.studio/@flourish/spor… #ddj

@f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h

Also useful to consider @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h's Stories feature as one way of creating animation that you can screencapture as a gif for social - e.g. flourish.studio/2021/01/19/mas… #ddj

THREAD: As many journalism students are understandably concerned about their work during the disruption caused by #coronavirus, here is some of the advice I've been giving to my students...

1/ Adaptability is a key skill in journalism. This period will see you learning how to adapt in ways that you will draw on throughout your journalism career. See this as a challenge, not an obstacle...

2/ Watch a range of news to see how professional journalists are adapting to limitations on the movement of their sources, colleagues, and themselves — as well as adapting to the news agenda being dominated by one story

@abigailedge

Great to have @abigailedge at @BCUJournalism this afternoon to give #Bcujournos a special workshop on verification, trends, advanced search and Google Earth Timelapse

@abigailedge

@abigailedge @BCUJournalism One of my favourite tips via @abigailedge is combining "site:twitter.com" with "inurl:lists" but I like the addition of keywords in triangular brackets (or 'alligators'!) too: "<mental health bloggers>" google.com/search?q=site%… #bcujournos
