The post-conference crash is so real. I knew it was coming. I warned first-timers about it! And yet I'm still sitting here like "Why am I so exhausted when I slept 10 hours last night?" Anyway, great #nicar24. Can't wait to do it all over again in Minneapolis next year.

Boarded United #UA248 (BWI-ORD)!
Hectic week, but _so_ thoroughly enjoyed seeing friends, colleagues and co-conspirators at #NICAR24.
I laughed, I cried, I sang, I ate, I learned, I shared. What more could I ask for?

Came to my first NICAR conference 10 years ago in Baltimore, a wide-eyed newbie. Today at #nicar24 still in awe of the skill and truth-digging tenacity of these data journalists, including many impressive #UF alums. Wow.

I won't be at #NICAR24, but @compatibilism.bsky.social and Maria Parazo Rose will be. They're presenting on @gristnews.bsky.social's Misplaced Trust investigation and teaching folks how to use the data. We hope that after NICAR, more newsrooms will do their own stories! grist.org/updates/gris...

Important point by @propublica.bsky.social’s Haru Coryne and Sophie Chou at #NICAR24:
When reporting on racial disparities, we _inevitably_ have to grapple with specific social and moral values.
This type of problem is all about balancing concerns! You can’t “objectivity” your way out of it.

Sharp panel on how best to use AI-driven tools to power data journalism - and the possible pitfalls #NICAR24 @junekim.bsky.social @jeffhargarten.bsky.social

Journalists, bear in mind that many AI tools state in their ToS that anything you feed into the tool becomes data for training the tool. Exercise caution with all sensitive information, e.g. info that can identify or endanger your sources #nicar24

Stress-test any AI tool you might want to use for real work: "find the breakage" [where it fails]

Think about the tool in terms of limits. What can't it do?
Also the limits of journalism, ethics: How far am I willing to take this?

Ask, about a new AI tool: Does it work?
And does it work the way we [in the newsroom] need it to work?
The answer to both those questions is often no.

Are we doing hashtags on this thing? Does #NICAR24 do anything?
