Rob mcbride has more from sole we are having this week joint air drills between the United States and south Korean Air Force is involving well over 200 war played.

Do most his heavy duty was staying themselves into the streams bursting with joy, kissing each other. And algeria, he listened, or she knew as if the indo chinese managed to beat the french army. Why not then . The decline continues an episode to blood and tears french the colonization on al jazeera. Oh, lou, my name is minded chelsea and im a day to journalist. My job is to find numbers in all sorts of different places and then turn them into images that people who understand and connect to i always try to think of ways to connect the subject matter with the visualization itself so that people can automatically see what the Data Visualization is all about if its about any copies being finds in france out drawing a copy. And if its about the k, k, k, i will draw a k k k hood. If its about sleep oh, draw sleepy face vis about the greek economy, taking a dive, then im going to draw a diver. I hope that by crates and handling illustrations. It doesnt alienate people, it doesnt make people feel like im not smart enough to understand this, which is a big problem with, i would say traditional dates, journalism. So when i create an illustration, i dont just assume that because i am sad to other people want to sunday. I share the illustration with people who dont mike in my field whatsoever. Who you tomorrow about the email, share it with my mom sometimes, and ask them whether or not they get it. And that really, really informs how i walk. And very often their response is it doesnt make sense to me. And then i have to go back to square one. I think one of the things that has informed my work is that going on i didnt reach emerson because the language in the way that it was written, felt so inaccessible. And i think thats one of the things that interest me about number is and the idea of drawing is that is a language which is more accessible to report a range of people. I think jamison is incredibly latest and i think part of the success of fall, right . News outlets is speaking a different language, even if its a language of misinformation and even if its a language that is not grounded in fact, it is a language which is not patronizing, which speaks to people in the our language. And thats incredibly effective. Ah ah ah, ive been treat illustrations and even if i can pull it off, ive been doing this now for 5 years. Almost 5 years. And, and i kind of know how to do the handle and stuff now and a nice houses and stuff. And i know how to color it, i have no idea how to paint. And so i thought i would give it a try. Its just quite an a big fast way. The study camino Early Release year, a about representation of vote. And chris quantified, the lack of diversity in a really, really spectacular way. So they, at the Museum Collections of 18, major us museums. And they found that 75 percent of all of our english Museum Collections was made by white men. And so in the foreground of this painting are 100 figures and 75 of them, whiteman. So in the background, there are 189. 00 additional figures. And they, the women and people of color that needs to be added to the art scene for its actually represent the population as a whole. The title of the work is quote, you hit to see when that feels really relevant to you. I worry that without evidence and data sometimes is too much of an emphasis on the individual. Right. So one person saying one thing, and then one person saying something else. I think one of the powerful things about dates is the allows you to focus on the issue often in the individual. And that can potentially be quite empowering in addition to this or painting which uses you estates, where were you wanting to do something about you chaos spaces. So there are 3416 office and the types Permanent Collection as of the last time that they published, they data and over they 3000 41625218 women. And so my 1st 8 of the, after analyzing all of that, was to create this which is a kind of simple chart. And on the horizontal axis is the year that the artist was born. And then the y axis with percentage of all of those artists that were men or women. And what you see over time is that there is some progress. So if we had the quality rate, they would just be a horizontal line, 3 this and you would just say 50 percent men and 50 percent women for any given year. And, and the idea of doing a trick painting at the show you that the men are kind of encroaching on womens spice or like womens territory m. Yeah. So im going to try and do trip painting i get my knees from ocwens different places. The kind of fall into a t broad categories, really one is responding to things are happening in the news. So being part of an existing conversation thats already happening. My, it lived experience can often affects which stories from the news i perceive as being worse taken on. So ive been to palestine of been to is row. And i felt like what i saw that didnt necessarily, wasnt necessarily well reflected in, in the news coverage. I was reading and i feel like its a topic that could potentially lend itself well to good day to journalism. And so thats something i might take on that is again informed by my own personal experiences. I didnt think i should have it in inches. I think i should have done it in sentences. The other one is kind of starting a new conversation. So i asked people to send me ideas that they have about things that really mattered to them. So im often checking my dns, my e mail, and just looking at the things that people care about and verify that comes from their own personal experiences. Right. So be like a School Teacher from one part of america where the Public School system is being defunded the im not aware of. And those are questions that might not necessarily come to me because theyre not part of my life experience. But i think that that really important questions. A blue ah hi, nice you know, 5 years ago and, and still just a mother from the same woman in that country in terms of my paperwork. And it was just a really, really scary time. And i dont think its in anybodys getting areas a great extent, and then i get america right now. And one of the narratives about that is that muslims pose a Security Threat to the country to statistics. The data suggests differently. They suggest agony, white terrorism is the biggest threat to america, the my men, that guns are huge there. So American Public safety. And so i often think about the areas of misinformation that people have and some of when, but attempts to directly address a ah, with, with, i think only awkward society that are affected by fight case. Whether its in a sense, in america, refugees who are being portrayed as like, benefit cheats and wanting to come here just to still money. Yeah. That really, really finds me that really, really frightens me with i lets see, the oldest oldest are these to learn. You wish and i way basically the powerful of these is that because i was, this is when i 1st started whacking i was just illustrate maam and photographing them and pasting them as is. But my late to work like this is about this was for thanksgiving. It was about the number of babies that born relative to the number of her case. But like as an illustration, it doesnt on the wall, it doesnt really make sense as a chart. And so i think thats one of the evolution that people say, of like charts that make sense and then charts eventually dont, you know, i mean like i want to figure out the spacing of a little bit. Yeah. We should plan them yet. And then start from them, okay. Part of the purpose of crank, hands on illustrations is i want people to, to look at it and question the illustration they see in front of them. Because the truth is, is that there is a high degree of imposition in, in data, right. There is something to be said for an understanding that for every statistic that you see, the truth lies somewhere within the parameters around that. Number 2 is funny. I think even this one right here, which did really, really well, this is one of the like more successful ones. I think this one, i got the number slightly wrong, so its photoshop in the final version. To like crop off the bars a little bit. So i dont know if that affects the value of it is actually just like wrong is your processing that you like double checking numbers old yet and honestly getting it wrong the time i feel like its important to be transparent about. Uh huh. Yeah, i think i would have those oh my god is so much to do. One of the best things about doing the dates. Journalism i do is that i will publish a chart on dates from 8, and i will show you george bush, kind of presiding for this period. And in all of the comments will be people that will be talking about all the factors that contributed to the rise aids beyond the governments. Kind of turning a blind eye to wit. When so read of the Company Holding me accountable and saying these are the things that youre getting, right . And these are things that youre getting wrong, and the smaller your readership, the fewer people are able to hold you to account. I want to reach a really big group of people partly because i want to get it right. And i dont know she necessarily get it right when youre in an echo chamber and speaking to an in crowd. I think i push back a little bit on the id. The thickness is something new. Theres always been this information is always been deliberate misinformation. I think the word fake news implies intention, and i think there are a lot of journalists who are trying to do a good job who are contributing to that. Look at the coverage of the u. S. Selection. That the response was, we didnt get it wrong. The public misunderstood our articles and i think the part, the reason why there is so much misunderstanding about that is because jeremys on thank you. Theres an 80 percent of this person when they are thanked you. Theres an 84. 9 percent chance and that is complete. Misinformation may are selling you a lie about the precision of their work. We dont know the whether to that degree of accuracy. We dont know Election Outcomes to that degree of accuracy. So if the public didnt understand you failed and you need to hold up your hands and say we got it wrong. And there was just an unwillingness to do that. That was really finding to me. When i was hired by the guardian, we had a conversation. Are we going to cover you as selection by making a prediction . And i felt very very, very strongly that the role of the journalism is not to forecast peoples behavior is to understand the now is to use the past and the present it to be able to inform people so that they can make informed decisions themselves about how they want to vote, its not to tell them. This is what you will do before you do it. And said we spent the entire election writing column called skeptical polling, where we would talk about why polling had its limitations and why it was so often incorrect. And im proud of the fact that we did that. I think people can often conflate her, polling with data journalism, and it actually comes to be such an integral part of the aides journalism, which, which worries me, it worries me even when its not about forecasting peoples behaviors. Because i think polling is fundamentally thought, i think, using a 1000 people to represent a population of 300. 20000000 people isnt a good idea. Just fundamentally precise. Ready lou, i think even if youre not necessarily even an inch, ive been in meetings like dates or effects every part of your life, right . You dont have access to good data. How are you able to go to your employer and say, this is why should be paid and so informing people how they can go out and collect the numbers themselves that are relevant to their life. So it can be their own advocates is really, really and i think that that perspective is massively informed by my background. What unit in chicago, where all the people were campaigning for, what it rocky refugees and itp is needed. And actually those rocky refugees and internally displaced, people should have been in the room speak themselves rather than osby. I was filling in social security. The goal is to go rinsing angio work or welcome to the united nations. I worked means National Organizations migrations, iraq office and i was looking at statistics about what people in the country needed. But in a different i went last time with you was, was not the place that i left at all. It was completely different. Its not always safe there then, but it now they say is a little bit better. Theres not much different, but we took one car journey. Where are we going to the car for where we were staying . And then we went on some kind of meeting or something. And then by the time we drove back, we drove past the same building and the building has been completely gone. Oh yeah. Youve been bomb tennis off week after. Yeah. Is so with that here, all of the headlines about all of the migrants are crossing by the woods and then you told me that one of our cousins swan. Yes, he nearly his life. I think it was horrific. What he went to through you is this one. Im going to show you in a way to jump in. So i went to walk and i think i took the photograph. So my best ever visits the country had never been before. And it was my moms 1st time of returning to the country since she left in her twenties, lisa. And so it was just very, very bizarre to see this place that like, was always an imagined place was imagined. It was just kind of present in our household but not present in our household. And yeah, i, i guess taking photographs was a really important way of making it feel real because it was quite severe. So be thou. And then what i did was i digitally altered the photographs to show statistics about the country i live located. So one of the issues with traditional dates journalism charts is that you dont see any humanity in it. You dont see any people, it just feels. So am cold. And so one of them takes visualizations i did based on a walker showing how Life Expectancy has changed over time. I literally took a photograph of my mom standing in the garden of a house that she grew up in and digitally altered it. So i adjusted her high as Life Expectancy in a world has changed because i didnt want someone to see a ball thats bigger and then see up all the smaller and think okay, so rockies live a few years less. I wanted them to see a woman. And know that shell to Life Expectancy means few years of her living with her family. It means it means few years of her being able to support her family is a real person. And i still think that using photography insights, journalism could be a really powerful way to do it. I really, really enjoyed that process, looking back at the photographs now i think theyre really terrible. But you know, it is my 1st step in crayton is kind of a thing that is a great tiger. I would be proud of that tiger to day one, yet. Im going to take flight. Thats how all tiger should be drawn. I some inspiration. Lingo. 63 jovan might lose 68000043 Christmas Island echoes 40 ponies brief 1030 the keepers 29 guam king fissions next up. Extinction once youre ready to start, if you can type in this you around with me. So this i, this is a really, really simple spreadsheet in some ways. And lesson point on the wife is about the titanic, if like from a passenger list of every one that was on the titanic. And very often when im opening spreadsheets, like especially ones, a crate by large institutions, the columns at the top thing to make no sense. Ive just got like a weird series of like letters and numbers. And thats because somewhere else on the internet is a code book that you have to use to kind of decipher some of these things. So its really important if you feel confused, try to find a code book that can help you to decipher what those numbers mean. Thank necessarily just give are looking to find i think. So i think a lot of people feel healthy skepticism when it comes to numbers. That but i, they dont necessarily feel empowered on stant how to take apart that number. They just think, okay, i have to trust it or not trust it. Theres my kind of middle pause and i think thats a really bad way to work. So i not only want people to understand how i reach my confusions. I also want them to feel empowered to repeat those steps for other pieces of information. So if i have showing them how i can factory a claim, a politician has made the name when they hear another claim, are able to repeat those steps and check out for themselves. And obviously like one of the things that so exciting about later is that you are able to be really transparent in ways that you might not be for other types of journalism. So didnt get to journalism. Sometimes you just cant reveal your sources. I obviously always, always go the sources of my, of my data. Now straight away, were starting to see a story, right. The probability of surviving is much higher in 1st class compared to 3rd class compared to group. Like just getting rid of h to now. Yes, its just a thing. Yeah. Yeah. I think great once they do a good thing, its good. Its good to do, you know, i mean about the labels on like a clinical heathen me with his cloth and clean it with with if possible. Anyway, but its quite easy to like to come in to find i think i like that. Its really cool. I thought id just talk you through a few different like chatting techniques. This is small multiple was i love small mouth both and i feel like its something that you guys can think about. So this was something about cases of measles. And again, look each each one of these babies as a year i could have just as easily had a pie chart. I thought i want to show a baby. This is was more fun. A baby thats covered in spot but also allows you to kind of like, i dont know if this idea again, of marrying the subjects with the thing interesting to me as well. How. When still younger, i think they have quite a Good Relationship with matt. Because they are able to understand how they reach the, the final number, right . Part of the way that people suddenly become disenchanted with us is that it doesnt make sense anymore, right . Youre not able to follow those steps. And with good data journalism, its literally a case of saying this is the number of coins that were committed. This is the population, and this is how i calculated the right. And people can repeat and steps for themselves and see exactly how you reach a conclusion. And thats really empowering, it shows readers that youre on the same level playing field. If i can do it, you can do it too, which is a really great message to have in journalism. Then like a blue ah ah, i frasier with, i ensure you feel skeptical about most of the data sets. I see because in every single case, im not in that theyd say arabs are not on any datasets by and large that are collected in, in america. So i have always perceived myself as the other, and i dont see myself in the state that and even in this printer, i spent 4 months creating errands, all the other. And i think that informs your whole outlook on the world. When you on in that dataset, and it makes me fundamentally skeptical any, makes me fundamentally concerns about collecting more accurate and better information about the world around i just want to say thank you for coming back to celebration manual with us, man. A. Thank you for watching and collaborating with us in a joy. I will be here by our relationship liens on a hey, im glad i didnt really ever describe myself as a bonus and can read, insisted on me doing that. And it was only the person to put multiple of these ministrations. I saw how big this work is. And this isnt even one of them. I feel a bit more comfortable using not words, which is part of this main piece over here, which is who gets to kind of call themselves an artist in established art for you. Yes, i joined because i was in a really nice job. I hate to. Its where i felt like i was really respected and i like, she just start enjoying that way just to kind of say, citing and different needs and sanity and formula choices. When youre struggling to find what the truth is, its really helpful to have Something Like mine is, was just based in like spreadsheets and david tell you literally what is going on. And theres, there really isnt that much of that. I think shes really serving a community or group is that generally get out of dates generally. So i love the payoff amount to sales and something thats just like so you know, in a world where, which is bizarre, leg evaluating truth. And the fact that its beginning to become the norm which is terrifying. I under trump right now as we speak and it feels that trump is winning. And so for people to come along and just say look, is the fact is the truth. This isnt spawn, its just, it is what it is. Its just so important data very often and replicates the systems of power that already exist. Maybe they ignore m sexual people. Maybe they ignore tiny religious and ethnic minorities. And i think a big part to think through dates, journalism, a big part, the future Fact Checking is journalist going out and creating their own data sets. And thats incredibly difficult to do is incredibly expensive right now. But that again might be changing, but i think it offers us some really exciting opportunities to break apart from those systems of power. And to collect data in a way that better represents different communities. Canyon journalists in pursuit of press, freedom and justice.
