Predecessors to data journalism - from social survey movement in 1900s
to “precision journalism” in 1960s.

–Tommaso Venturini, Controversy Mapping, climaps.org
“Controversy mapping was introduced by Bruno Latour as a teaching method to train students and future citizens to
navigate socio-technical debates through the creative use of digital media.”
!“The political aim of controversy mapping is to provide innovative methods for approaching scientific and
technical disputes. ”

“[Digital methods] refers to repurposing online devices and platforms (such as Google searches, Facebook and
Wikipedia) for social and political research that would often have been otherwise improbable.”

the concerns of an electorate become visible in the searches they conduct.”

–Noortje Marres & Carolin Gerlitz, “Interface methods”, The Sociological Review, forthcoming
!“Social media data tend to be organised in ways that favour highly particular modes of analysis, such as the investigation of people’s ‘networks’, the ‘influence’ of actors, the ‘reach’ of content or the ‘currency’ of certain words at certain moments
in time.”
![Page 57: Using Data for Science Journalism](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d590fcbb61ebd95a8b4581/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

assembly of methods, data, tools, user practices, context of application and so on.”

Mapping climate change adaptation
![Page 64: Using Data for Science Journalism](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d590fcbb61ebd95a8b4581/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Findings!
Both adaptation and mitigation are highly visible in negotiations.
Mitigation has been a top priority from the beginning.
Adaptation received less attention in the beginning with the exception of adaptation financing
Adaptation becomes more important in the second phase of the negotiations.
![Page 67: Using Data for Science Journalism](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d590fcbb61ebd95a8b4581/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)

Notable stability in presence and intervention of countries.
Most active are China (representing G77), United States and Europe.
Notable exceptions include Bolivia and Philippines who are becoming more
prominent in recent negotiations.
Countries tend to be more active when they host the negotiations.
![Page 70: Using Data for Science Journalism](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d590fcbb61ebd95a8b4581/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

“…the negotiations on climate change have moved from mitigation to also include adaptation, an issue which could in principle be seen as a national responsibility.
Here it becomes particularly acute to justify which countries should receive aid and why. A much
debated method for doing so is the assessment of vulnerability to climate change.”

Findings
• Vulnerability indices tend to disagree in their assessment of different countries.
• Very few countries (7) are among the most vulnerable according to all three indices.
• Quite a few countries (25) are simultaneously assessed to be most vulnerable and least vulnerable according to different indices.
• The assessment of climate change vulnerability by means of indicators continues to be a contentious issue divide in both policy and academic communities.

Climate change sceptics appeared to have disproportionate influence in the media relative to their influence with other prominent climate
science organisations on the web.

Are climate skeptics mainstream or fringe in climate science?
Do the skeptics and their co-authors publish articles in the same disciplines and journals as other climate scientists?

Findings
• Sceptics are part of the mainstream of climate change science research.
• Skeptical climate science is not positioned outside the field but is part of climate science (ecology, meteorology and atmospheric sciences, environmental sciences, plant sciences, agronomy, etc.)
• The skeptics publish in the top climate journals including Nature and Science.

Functions of network analysis in the newsroom!!• Presentational or storytelling device • Story discovery • Exploratory analysis of complex networks
and big databases • Newsroom knowledge management • Internal reference resource
![Page 155: Using Data for Science Journalism](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d590fcbb61ebd95a8b4581/html5/thumbnails/155.jpg)
Opportunities !• New insights into large and complex
systems • More network analysis, rather than just
network mapping • New data and methods for tracing networks
using social media and hyperlink analysis • Identifying new sources for interviews • Researchers and journalists collaborating to
tell stories about complex topics
![Page 156: Using Data for Science Journalism](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042717/55d590fcbb61ebd95a8b4581/html5/thumbnails/156.jpg)
Challenges !• Lack of awareness • Lack of flagship projects • Time, resource and budget constraints • Lack of technical capacity and tooling • Speed of tools and methods • Lack vocabulary for talking about network
analysis
