We’re presenting today at “Investigating (with) Big Data“, a one day symposium being held at Cardiff University by the Digital Culture Network. Our talk, “Digital Needles in the Data Haystack” examines the use of data by news organisations, focusing on the challenges they face when carrying out investigations with increasingly large volumes of data. We discuss the collaborations that organisations have built to get past such problems, and talk about some of the issues surrounding the use of data within newsrooms.
It looks to be an interesting day of talks on a range of different topics connected to ‘Big Data’, and we’re looking forward to it!
