Journalism shapes the web through code that was developed in newsrooms, like Django and Backbone. Journalism drives web content, stories that amuse and enrage as well as reporting that leads to meaningful changes in our communities. Journalism works at a scale that few other industries can muster–millions of readers engage with reporting every day. How can the work we do inside and outside of newsrooms continue to strengthen the web and change people's lives?\r\n\r\nThrough the journalism space, participants will gain a foundation of understanding about this role that journalism plays in the web. They'll better understand how they contribute to journalism on the web as well--whether it be through code, writing, or community contributions. Participants will have multiple ways to engage with journalism on the web, based on their existing skills and interests. Through each of the pathways, participants will deepen their connection with journalism on the web and gain skills that will inform their own work and allow them to contribute to journalism in a way that is manageable for them. They'll leave the journalism space excited about the importance and impact of journalism on the open web and with clarity about their own role in supporting that work to help support their own community.\r\n\r\nActivists: Efforts toward privacy, inclusion, and other indicators of safe communities and a healthy internet rely on the energy of people driven to make those worlds into better places. Building skills and finding collaborators are two ways to amplify those efforts, and MozFest can make both those things happen.\r\n* Developers from outside journalism: Talented programmers who love solving problems through code often don't realize that journalism is such a rich, fascinating space to work in. We've found that developers from other fields are often energized by the opportunity to join a newsroom and take on projects they find personally meaningful.\r\n* Developer/journalists: One of OpenNews' goals is to support collaboration between news organizations; everyone benefits when journalists work together to free data and build tools, making more time for analysis and storytelling. Bringing them together to build skills not only makes them better at their jobs, it connects them with people they'd like to work with down the road.\r\n* Regional journalists: Journalists in the UK and Europe have data analysis as a core part of the journalists' skillset. They already use data to understand local and regional issues like immigration that affect their communities and influence the political landscape. They're interested in building connections with other journalists, sharing their skills and data, and continuing to build their skills.\r\n* Journalism educators/university students: University instructors are often a few years removed from practice, so it's difficult to avoid a divide between what gets taught in the classroom and what modern newsrooms need. Bringing students and educators together with cutting-edge designers and developers is great opportunity to help influence the next generation of journalists.\r\n\r\nParticipants will leave with knowledge about existing tools that support journalism, areas where tools are still needed, opportunities to contribute to open-source projects.\r\n* They'll leave with the ability to use a tool--whether that's Tabula, a mapping library, or something else--that they didn't know how to use before.\r\n* They'll leave with an understanding of the ethics of journalism, how to treat a subject fairly, represent an entire community, be honest with data, etc.\r\n* Existing journalists will leave having seen the way Mozilla's mission aligns with their own\r\n* They'll leave with knowledge of the broad range of fellowship opportunities that might allow them to help influence the future of the open web.\"","creator":{"login":"Saallen","id":10194015,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10194015?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen","html_url":"https://github.com/Saallen","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Saallen/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"open_issues":4,"closed_issues":1,"state":"open","created_at":"2015-08-26T10:27:51Z","updated_at":"2015-09-16T23:28:47Z","due_on":null,"closed_at":null},"comments":1,"created_at":"2015-08-26T10:59:50Z","updated_at":"2015-09-16T23:28:47Z","closed_at":"2015-09-16T23:28:47Z","body":"Impact is the prism we're using to look at working with data.
