Poynter has a nice collection of some SXSW panels, focusing on ones of interest to journalist. Data folks might want to pay attention too, because they have a nice list of the ones focused on data journalism and visualization, like this one entitled “Data Visualization & the Future of Research”.
This session will cover the basics of data, as well as developments in data visualization strategies, theories of visualization and major issues with data analysis. The session isn’t geared specifically toward journalists, but it could help journalists get up to speed on techniques of data visualization. Panelists include Lee Dirks from Microsoft Research and Johan Bollen, associate professor at the Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing.
