SUMMARY:Learn to Use AI for Data Reporting: How to Find and Access Relevant Data
DESCRIPTION:Instructor:\nSandeep Junnarkar\nLeonard Tow Chair for Journalism Innovation\nDirector of Data Journalism Program\, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism \nWhere: Zoom \n\nQuickly evolving artificial intelligence technology is emerging as a potentially powerful journalism tool\, including for harnessing data in stories. But AI needs to be wielded carefully and correctly to get accurate\, trustable results in storytelling. \nJoin Sandeep Junnarkar\, Data Journalism Director at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY\, for a three-part training series on using AI to find and analyze data to help you produce strong\, high-quality stories for your audience. Junnarkar will be joined by Jere Hester\, director of the J-School’s Local Accountability Reporting program\, at these trainings. \nHow to find and access relevant data\nThursday\, Oct. 9 @ 2 pm – 3:30 pm ET\nLearn how to locate relevant data sets. We’ll explore – employing real-life examples – how to mine NYC Open Data and other largely untapped sources of information. \nPrompt writing and AI-powered data analysis\nThursday\, Oct. 16 @ 2 pm – 3:30 pm ET\nLearn to create effective AI prompts that\, as Junnarkar puts it\, allow you to “interrogate” the data\, asking questions that yield information and insight key to your story. \nHow to verify data and avoid AI pitfalls\nThursday\, Oct. 23 @ 2 pm – 3:30 pm ET\nDiscover how to validate your data projects and prevent AI “hallucinations” along with other risks tied to this fast-evolving technology. \nRegister for the data trainings \nIf you have any questions\, contact ccm@journalism.cuny.edu. \n\nInstructor \nSandeep Junnarkar began his journalism career helping launch The New York Times’ earliest digital editions\, writing on how technology transforms medicine\, psychiatry\, and communications. At Bloomberg\, he trains journalists in data journalism and advises on data projects. In 2019\, he received a Knight Foundation AI ethics grant to help community journalists examine AI’s impact on immigrants and low-income groups. He co-created YOU ARE HERE\, an AR storytelling app\, and launched The Hate Index\, tracking post-2016 hate incidents. He’s also developing PathChartr\, a tool for personalized news delivery. Junnarkar holds degrees from UC Berkeley and Columbia Journalism School.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: American Coup: Wilmington 1898
DESCRIPTION:AMERICAN COUP: WILMINGTON 1898 tells the little-known story of a deadly race massacre and carefully orchestrated insurrection in North Carolina’s largest city in 1898 — the only coup d’état in the history of the US. Stoking fears of “Negro Rule\,” self-described white supremacists used intimidation and violence to destroy Black political and economic power and overthrow Wilmington’s democratically-elected\, multi-racial government. Black residents were murdered and thousands were banished. The story of what happened in Wilmington was suppressed for decades until descendants and scholars began to investigate. Today\, many of those descendants — Black and white — seek the truth about this intentionally buried history. \nJoin us for a film screening and conversation with the film’s directors\, Brad Lichtenstein and Newmark J-School Professor Yoruba Richen\, and executive producer Cameo George.
