[Corpora-List] Computation and Journalism 2014

[Jacob Eisenstein]

Paper contributions are invited for the 2014 Computation + Journalism
Symposium. With its long history of interaction with journalistic
corpora and applications, computational linguistics is a topic of
strong interest. Note that the deadline has been extended to September
5, 2014.

COMPUTATION+JOURNALISM SYMPOSIUM
October 24-25, 2014
At Columbia University in New York

http://symposium2014.computation-and-journalism.com/

CALL FOR PAPERS

We specifically invite papers emphasizing any of four kinds of contributions:

- Stories, visualizations, or other interactive experiences exemplary
of outstanding journalism produced about or with data, code and
algorithms
- Platforms that support journalistic work and which enable new ways
of finding, producing, curating, or disseminating stories and other
news content.
- Research papers which explore a question of interest in journalism
or information studies, or in data and computing sciences as it
relates back to journalism and news information.
- Pedagogical innovations, describing how technology can be used in
the teaching of journalism, or journalism can be used in the training
of data and computer scientists and other flavors of engineers.

Each different contribution will be judged on its own merits, but all
should be reflective and seek to share knowledge that leads the field
forward. For instance, story submissions might explain the story as
well as how it was enabled or constrained by technology, platform
submissions might detail what is unique about the platform and how its
design affords journalistic work, and research submissions might
articulate a research question and contribution to state-of-the-art
knowledge. All submissions will be reviewed by experts in the field.
Accepted papers will be invited to present in a poster/demo or plenary
session.

Papers will be published as part of an online proceedings linked off
this site but should be considered "non-archival" for the sake of
journal submissions elsewhere. At the same time, we highly encourage
unique and novel contributions with limited overlap to other related
publications the author may have or intend to publish. Accepted papers
will also be invited to publish a short abstracted version of the
paper in a special issue of the American Journalism Review (AJR).

Paper submission and timelines:
Papers must be electronically submitted by Friday, August 29, 2014 at
5pm Pacific Daylight Time. C+J accepts only electronic submissions in
PDF format. We will provide a link to upload submissions a month
before the deadline. Accepted papers will be announced on September
15, 2014.
