Today at #datajconf: we talked about what we've learned about pedagogy in the process of running datajournalismteachers.club. Focused on grounding data journalism in tools *and* humanities, teaching with a learner-centered rather than a "banking" model, and how we learn in community. Join the club!

By far, the most needed AI tool I learned about at #datajconf was introduced by Bette Dam asking: "Can we use an AI tool to investigate ourselves [journalists] rather than someone else?" Bette has reported on Afghanistan for decades and knows intimately how deeply flawed elite news coverage is.

Also learned about Johann Jakob Meyer, one of the first editors of revolutionary Greece, who said, "Publication is the soul of justice."

I'm at #datajconf in Athens this week and one very cool thing we've done is take a tour of the library of Journalists' Union of Athens Daily Newspapers, where they've kept a history of Greek news outlets. This is one of the oldest prints they have of, I believe, a paper called Neos Aristophanes.

One thing I'll share here: we're hosting a symposium in November in Syracuse, for which we're collecting art/poetry/prose/photographs/memories from anyone affected, indirectly or directly, by the "War On Terror." You can read more about how to submit here: counternarratives.github.io

We benefitted from Asad's deep research about the Muslim history of New York, including some of the first Arabic-language newspapers!, and how that history fits into what most of us already know about NYC. He brought us all the way up to 9/11, the "War On Terror" and NYPD surveillance.

Yesterday, my research team and I had the privilege to host a walking tour and oral history workshop with @asadfromnyc.bsky.social. It was exactly the mix of history, journalism, community and critique I've been wanting to put together through my work with @lendercenter.bsky.social.

NEW investigation from me, Aly Panjwani and Haley Moreland
(and Newhouse students): "Little Guantánamo" prison units are expanding—growing nearly 80 percent in the last 15 years with a third unit under construction. More in @theappeal.bsky.social & @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

It helped me to read a writer exploring what it means to witness something like the genocide in Gaza, with the gravity placed on the word 'witness' and the act of witnessing for Muslims in particular:

I'm heartened to see more and more analysis of news practices out loud, with data.
