Data Day

Marieta and Laura discuss how AI can be used to build on local journalism with special guests Sonja Tutty, data journalist, and Joseph Hook, editor of RadarAI. There are so many stories hidden into massive spreadsheets, that local reporters may have no time or resources to go through, and that’s what Radar’s team does with the help of AI. But they are still writing the stories, doing original interviews, and seeking the data themselves. So, if AI is not being used to compose the articles, then how does one script turn into hundreds of local news pieces? Listen to this episode to find out.

Newsrooms have been exploring how Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Extractions (IE) can modularise content as reusable elements to use for different storytelling formats and for meeting users’ needs. But what bits and pieces are worth looking at and how can journalists do that? Marieta and Laura talk to Ines Montani, founder of ExplosionAI and Anna Vissens, lead data scientist at The Guardian, to find out more about modular journalism and the importance of transparency when using AI.

Starting a podcast can be a daunting prospect, but if 'Data Day' can teach you anything, it's that the barrier for entry is incredibly low. On this final episode of 'Data Day', Bridie Pearson-Jones joins Luke Barratt as they discuss what makes some of their favourite podcasts great, why podcasting is such a compelling format for modern journalists, and the difference between podcasts and radio programmes. Plus, special guest and longtime fan of the show Faye White joins the team to discuss some funny podcasts, because apparently our podcasting experts are really boring. This is the end of season 1 of Data Day, and Luke's last episode. It remains to be seen whether future Interhacktives take up the mantle.
