Found this write up of my 2012 election analysis and data use by the numerati...and how journalists have used data to map and visualize communities...2012. #mediadeserts #citations elon.edu/u/news/2013/04…
For those of you who may not know...@elonuniversity is in North Carolina (hi @thebusinessofnews), where I was doing mapping work in 2012 of media deserts, tracking online hate rhetoric and the political use of social technologies/data for targeted messaging and journalism work. 
If you go to wikipedia and look up "news deserts", the history begins in 2016 @businessofnews ? And you were....at @DukeU at the time? How coincidental that my methodology, definitions and work would be duplicated just 40 miles away? Curious. #citationsmatter
Then @pewjournalism and @CJR came along with similar ideas and actually interviewed me about my work but didn't mention that. Guess who's work shows up in wikipedia and who's doesn't? mediadeserts.com . But I'll have the opportunity to correct the record again this fall.
With two upcoming book chapters and a keynote talk on the media deserts methodology at News Desert U Oct. 21-22 conference this is a busy fall season for expanding the oases building work we've been doing. #mediaseeds #letsgrow
