Computing the News: Data Journalism and the Search for Objectivity
by Sylvain ParasieFaced with a full-blown crisis, a growing number of journalists are engaging in seemingly unjournalistic practices such as creating and maintaining databases, handling algorithms, or designing online applications. “Data journalists” claim that these approaches help the profession demonstrate greater objectivity and fulfill its democratic mission. In their view, computational methods enable journalists to better inform their readers, more closely monitor those in power, and offer deeper analysis. In Computing the News, Sylvain Parasie examines how data journalists and news organizations have navigated the tensions between traditional journalistic values and new technologies. He traces the history of journalistic hopes for computing technology and contextualizes the surge of data journalism in the twenty-first century. By importing computational techniques and ways of knowing new to journalism, news organizations have come to depend on a broader array of human and nonhuman actors. Parasie draws on extensive fieldwork in the United States and France, including interviews with journalists and data scientists as well as a behind-the-scenes look at several acclaimed projects in both countries. Ultimately, he argues, fulfilling the promise of data journalism requires the renewal of journalistic standards and ethics. Offering an in-depth analysis of how computing has become part of the daily practices of journalists, this book proposes ways for journalism to evolve in order to serve democratic societies.
Comrade Huppert: A Poet In Stalin's World
by George HuppertAfter discovering the autobiography of the Austrian communist and writer Hugo Huppert (1902-1982), historian George Huppert became absorbed in the life and work of this man, a Jew, perhaps a relative, who was born a few months after George's father and grew up just miles away. Hugo seemed to embody a distinctly central European experience of his time, of people trapped between Hitler and Stalin. Using the unvarnished account found in Hugo's notebooks, George Huppert takes the reader on a tour of the writer's life from his provincial youth to his education and radicalization in Vienna; to Moscow where he meets Mayakovski and where he is imprisoned during Stalin's purges; through the difficult war years and return to Vienna; to his further struggles with the communist party and his blossoming as a writer in the 1950s. Through all the twists and turns of this story, George remains a faithful presence, guiding the way and placing Hugo's remarkable life in context. Comrade Huppert is a story of displacement and exile, the price of party loyalty, and the toll of war and terror on the mind of this emblematic figure.

Comunicar com Eficácia: Quem Ouvimos, Quem Não Ouvimos e Porquê
by Stephen Martin Joseph MarksCOMO CONQUISTAR CONFIANÇA, SABER TRANSMITIR MENSAGENS E INFLUENCIAR PESSOAS Vivemos num mundo em que factos comprovados e dados verificáveis estão amplamente disponíveis. Porque será, então, que as pessoas escolhem dar ouvidos a ignorantes em vez de prestar atenção a especialistas confiáveis? E por que motivo pormenores aparentemente irrelevantes, como a aparência física ou o estatuto socioeconómico, influenciam se iremos ou não confiar no que uma pessoa diz, independentemente da fiabilidade dos seus conhecimentos? Neste livro inovador, os especialistas em ciência comportamental Stephen Martin e Joseph Marks revelam as forças que atuam por detrás de alguns dos fenómenos mais irritantes e nocivos da atualidade, como a crença em fake news ou a conquista de cargos políticos por parte de pessoas que veiculam informações erradas e mentem de forma descarada. Explicam também de que forma o mensageiro, ao deter ou ao adquirir determinados traços, como os que definem uma pessoa carismática, se pode tornar mais importante do que a mensagem veiculada, influenciando negócios, políticas, comunidades e a nossa sociedade em geral. «Comunicar com Eficácia é um verdadeiro tour de force que aborda um assunto crucial de forma oportuna e fortemente fundamentada em pesquisas. Não consigo pensar em nenhum outro livro capaz de tratar de modo tão convincente os papéis e os atributos do mensageiro moderno.» Robert Cialdini, autor bestseller de Pré-Suasão «Compreender em quem confiamos e porquê é fundamental para explicar tudo, desde a liderança ao poder, e até mesmo os nossos relacionamentos diários. Esclarecedor e interessante, este livro ajuda-nos a entender aqueles que seguimos e por que motivo o fazemos, seja na política, nos negócios ou na vida quotidiana.» Sinan Aral, professor de Gestão no MIT «A utilidade deste livro reside no facto de ter sido concebido para auxiliar consumidores e cidadãos a entenderem quando estão a ser manipulados e a tomarem medidas para resistir a isso.» Harvard Business Review «Um livro que demonstra como a nossa consideração inata por fatores como a beleza ou o estatuto, em detrimento de evidências e factos comprovados, torna pouco surpreendente que vivamos num mundo inundado de fake news.» Financial Times

Conceding Composition: A Crooked History of Composition's Institutional Fortunes
by Ryan SkinnellFirst-year composition became the most common course in American higher education not because it could “fix” underprepared student writers, but because it has historically served significant institutional interests. That is, it can be “conceded” in multiple ways to help institutions solve political, promotional, and financial problems. Conceding Composition is a wide-ranging historical examination of composition’s evolving institutional value in American higher education over the course of nearly a century. Based on extensive archival research conducted at six American universities and using the specific cases of institutional mission, regional accreditation, and federal funding, this study demonstrates that administrators and faculty have introduced, reformed, maintained, threatened, or eliminated composition as part of negotiations related to nondisciplinary institutional exigencies. Viewing composition from this perspective, author Ryan Skinnell raises new questions about why composition exists in the university, how it exists, and how teachers and scholars might productively reconceive first-year composition in light of its institutional functions. The book considers the rhetorical, political, organizational, institutional, and promotional options conceding composition opened up for institutions of higher education and considers what the first-year course and the discipline might look like with composition’s transience reimagined not as a barrier but as a consummate institutional value.
