Imagine you have has just been handed an immense amount of leaked information that could change the world. How do you navigate the data, how do you locate the important details and form them into a story for the general public?
The Panama Papers were a milestone event in data journalism and mobile collaboration. The papers were first leaked to a German newspaper that realised the volume of data they had been given was immense. They called on the help of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, and soon 107 media companies from over 80 countries were working on the data.
In this afternoon of intrigue learn how the Panama Papers investigation was done. Join us as we explore the process and technology behind this ground-breaking exposé.
This talk will focus on how the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) told the Panama Papers story and the data journalism process involved.
Hamish Boland-Rudder is ICIJ's online editor. He spent two years running the breaking news website for The Canberra Times, which included co-ordinating digital coverage of elections, major sporting events, and live coverage of significant natural disasters. Hamish also instituted new digital reporting rounds for the daily newsroom, and has himself spent time as a reporter writing for The Sydney Morning Herald, The Korea Herald, The Canberra Times, and various other publications.
The event will include a technical demonstration by Neo Technology using the Panama Papers dataset enriched by the Open Corporates dataset to show how multiple datasets can be merged for new insight into the connections within their data.
