Wie dies geht, zeigt der Autor in diesem Buch systematisch und anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen aus der Praxis.

"With many workplaces in semi or total lockdown in response to COVID-19, many journalists are adjusting to the new reality of working from home. This affects the way we report on our communities, the type of observations we can include in our stories and shifts our focus online. But how do we ensure

that our community voices are still at the center of our reporting? And as we hunker down in front of our laptops in our makeshift home offices, what tools are available to stay connected with our newsrooms, sources and our communities? Mobile Journalists (MOJOs) and freelancers have the upper hand in this context. They’re used to working from home, cafe’s or wherever they can find a powerpoint. We’ve tapped their experience to bring together this guide designed to make remote work newbies look like #WFH veterans. And, because we know not everyone has reliable access to the internet, we have included high and low tech alternatives." (Page 1)

"Data Journalism is a flourishing field of journalism that actively looks for, analyses and interprets various forms of data for storytelling. More than half of all news organizations in the US and Europe now have at least one dedicated data journalist working in their newsrooms. There are also now
...
over two hundred data journalism modules and programs being taught in journalism schools all over the world. These programs are set to prepare journalists for the next wave of analytical and accountability-driven journalism. For the average global citizen, more and more of our everyday lives are impacted by computers and data. In order to hold power to account, journalists should be empowered with the skills and tools to make sense of this data. By working through real case studies within Al Jazeera, we hope to provide readers with a concise and practical introduction to data journalism as seen through the lens of an Arab audience. This guidebook will move beyond the technical details and rather focus on helping you think critically and creatively about telling human stories hidden within data." (Introduction)

de ellos lo hace con total libertad y desde perspectivas y enfoques tan diferentes como complementarios. La variedad de perfiles, por un lado, y la riqueza de “miradas”, por otro, han permitido confeccionar un rico caleidoscopio que invita a pensar y a repensar el encuentro –para muchos–, la colisión –para algunos– y el desencuentro –para otros– de la tecnología en el escenario comunicativo. Por otro lado, en una segunda parte, la obra presenta un total de 60 herramientas clasificadas en cinco grandes apartados: Buscar, Analizar, Escribir, Visualizar y, finalmente, Colaborar y organizar. Este trabajo es el resultado de una minuciosa búsqueda y un detallado análisis a cargo de un grupo de estudiantes –de diferentes procedencias y perfiles– que durante meses han escudriñado la Red en busca de los recursos, las plataformas y los instrumentos que podrían integrar un hipótetico (y siempre inacabado) directorio para comunicadores digitales."

al media forum or platform or posts on any of your pages, should be sure to comply with the following: Be respectful of the audience. If you would not put it on air or have it printed on the front page, then do not post it online; employees who post content on behalf of their organisation or as part of their jobs must always identify themselves; anyone posting on an organisation’s social media sites or any other official social media pages must uphold the values and mission of the organisation and should coordinate with their manager; do not pick arguments online and do be the first to correct your own mistakes, and don’t alter previous posts without indicating or evidencing that you have done so; always add value. Provide information that is worthwhile. Your brand is an important asset. Whatever you publish will affect your brand; one needs to be ethical and responsible in social media interactions. (Reflect what the company you work for expects of you.); market your brand: Post about the organisation or relevant content, news and programs; engage the audience and their responses professionally, avoid emotional attachment at all times; trust is built on credibility. Verify anything you post for accuracy; always seek guidance on legal related matters." (Best practices, page 4)
