From Redlining to Robots: How newsrooms apply technology to the craft of journalism

Aron Pilhofer Temple University

United States

Abstract

The use of technology in newsrooms is noth- ing new: Journalists have been applying so- phisticated data analysis techniques to find and tell stories for at least a half century.

In 1972, journalists at the Philadelphia In- quirer borrowed time on a mainframe to land a story about unequal sentencing. In 1989, the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s series about redlining won a Pulitzer Prize – the first for a piece of data journalism. And in the after- math of Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the Miami Herald used GIS to show how shoddy work- manship — not wind — was likely to blame for much of the damage. Although journalism isn’t thought of as a high-tech profession, jour- nalists have been among the earliest adopters of new techniques and technologies to find and report stories. This talk will cover how jour- nalists have embraced technology in the past, and how they might in the future.
