Recent advances in computational technology are rapidly affecting how news is gathered, reported, and distributed, and how stories are authored and told. New technologies for aggregating, visualizing, summarizing, consuming, and collaborating on news are becoming increasingly popular. They are challenging the traditional practices of journalism and directly affecting the future of news production and consumption. I am interested in the study of how computational processes have resulted in the complete change of journalism practice and how it impacts society. In this session I will discuss some of these changes and highlight what to expect with the continued growth of social networking and social media.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Center for Advanced Communications Policy (CACP) and the Internet \u0026amp; Public Policy Project (IP3) welcome College of Computing Professor Irfan Essa on the role of computational journalism and its impact on society.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"How technology is affecting the way news is gathered, reported, and distributed"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2010-03-29 12:32:07","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:51:09","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-04-13T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2010-04-13T14:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-04-13T14:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-04-13 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-04-13 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-04-13 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.cacp.gatech.edu\/","title":"CACP"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ip3.gatech.edu\/","title":"Internet \u0026 Public Policy Project"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"3632","name":"CACP"},{"id":"9033","name":"computational journalism"},{"id":"4662","name":"ict"},{"id":"4457","name":"IP3"},{"id":"365","name":"Research"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:paul.baker@cacp.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EPaul M.
