The Science Quality Marker (Round 4)

Results from scientific publications form the basis of many news stories in online media. But often with sensational headlines and conclusions that do not match the actual science behind it. The problem is that a lot of science in the media is of bad quality and sometimes even fake. So videnskab.dk has developed a set of ‘markers’ that can be used to sort good science from bad. With this prototype project they want to examine how this different data could be collected in a technology assisted way – and how the data can be visualised for users, allowing them to judge the quality of the science behind the headlines. In this first prototype a database and program of automated tools will be designed to gather information from journal sites.

Publishing platform for conflict news (Round 3)

The European mainstream media have today challenges in travelling in conflict countries because of the danger and because it is expensive. We have been working in more than 15 years with capacity building of the local media in these countries and have in numerous cases shown how the content from these partners actually has reach a quality so they can be shown on international media. We will try to set up a system so this can be organised and secure easy access to the stories as well as a model to generate income to the local partners.

Disclose (Round 3)

Existing advertising models cannot sustain news reporting and investigative journalism. It’s a realization that has come to legacy media over the last decade – and even digital new comers has arrived at the same conclusion in recent years: Advertising supports more content, but not quality content. Subscription is a formidable business model when it comes to the most loyal users, but it comes at a cost: The social factor of news is lost and anyone but the most loyal users are left outside. Disclose is an attempt to rethink the advertising model and to resocialize the news.

PoliWatchBot (Round 3)

The governing institutions in Sweden and Denmark produce a massive dataflow containing all relevant information in the legislative processes. But it is presented in a mostly unedited format and is difficult to understand. We will use this dataflow to add a structure and context to the information and to make navigation and understanding easier. We will develop automated articles and incorporate the data in a larger visualized structure. To explain the entire legislative process, we will develop automated text analysis with an emphasis on entity recognition and develop a public web platform over the legislative processes.
