nedenstående punkter fra programmet:
Torsdag den 5. marts

Spotlight: Being a reporter when everyone's a journalist
and there's data everywhere
Speaker: Zeynep Tufekci

The forgotten history of data journalism
Speaker: Scott Klein
You may think that data journalism started in the 1960s,
but the truth is, data's been a central part of journalism
since its very beginning. You'll see beautiful examples
of data visualizations in news from the 18th and 19th
centuries, and a data-backed investigation--complete
with nerd box--from before the Civil War.

Uncovering racial and economic divides using data
Speakers: Tim Henderson, Malik Singleton, David
Herzog, Nikole Hannah-Jones

CAR on the beat
Speakers: Kate Martin, Christopher Weaver, Jennifer
Smith Richards
Data isn't just for big projects or a designated
investigative reporter. Learn how to think about finding
and using data on any beat and the best way to make
data part of your everyday work. We'll talk about the
kind of data every beat reporter should have on hand,
how to make time for data analysis and show some
examples of how beat reporters have made use of data
in everyday stories.
Fredag den 6. Marts:

The year in CAR
Speakers: Megan Luther, Alex Richards
What were the big stories of the year? What were the
most creative uses of data analysis? See what your
colleagues have been up to and pick up some story
ideas at the same time.

Thinking about interactivity
Speakers: Robert Hernandez, Mariana Santos, Trina
Chiasson, Melissa Bell

Local data that can lead to stories
Speakers: Walker Moskop, Lee Zurik, Gavin Off
If governments oversee it, chances are they keep data
on it. From police traffic stops and 911 calls to
employee salaries and gun permits, local data can drive
in-depth investigations and give context to breaking
news stories.

Using data to detect environmental dangers
Speakers: Caelainn Barr, Michael Corey, Robert
Gebeloff, Ingrid Lobet
You smell an environmental problem, there are
powerful anecdotes, you've tracked down the subject
matter experts. But you're not sure how to truthsquad
what they say. You've pressed officials to find out what
data is available. But you don't have to stop there, you
can go further. Learn how to analyze data in ways the
regulators aren't doing, and to turn hard-won but boring
environmental data into visuals and writing that make
people pay attention.

Deep dives part 2
Speakers: John Bones, Mar Cabra, Blake Ellis, Melanie
Hicken, John Kelly
We'll give three journalists a chance to talk about their
data-driven projects. Check back here for more
information.

Lightning Talks
Speaker: Sisi Wei, ProPublica
Sometimes you don't need 45 minutes to explain a
useful technique or interesting resource. Join your
colleagues for a session of short (5-minute) talks about
doing CAR, Web development or other related topics.
Anyone can suggest an idea, and the most popular
talks will be given at this session. We'll provide a
computer with Internet access and a projector, and the
rest is up to you. Go here for a list of the 2015 lightning
talks you selected.
Fra uddelingen af Philip Meyer Award – en pris for undersøgende
journalistic, som uddeles af IRE – Investigative Reporters and Editors,
arr. Af Nicar 2015.
Lørdag den 7. Marts.

This just in: Data for breaking news investigations
Speakers: Stephen Stock, Cheryl Phillips
What will you do the next time a plane crashes, a fire
starts or a politician gets caught in a scandal? We'll
show you how you can prepare for the next big story
using dashboards, searchable databases and more.

Sensor journalism: Buzz or BS?
Speakers: John Keefe, Travis Hartman, Matthew
Waite, Amy Schmitz Weiss
The hype around Sensor Journalism is that it's a major
new frontier in Data Journalism. So where are all the
examples? Is it buzz or BS? We'll explore that, show
some successes and unveil a few projects emerging
from the lab.

Deep dive: Phil Meyer Award winners
Speakers: Phil Williams, David Donald, Ryan McNeill,
Michael Grabell, Lena Groeger, Jeff Larson, Olga
Pierce, Fred Schulte
The winners of the Philip Meyer Award take you behind
the scenes and offer insights, tips and strategies that
helped them pull of their award-winning work. These
projects uncovered how the medical injuries overbills
elderly patients to the tune of billions of dollars, the
dangers that temporary workers face and the risks of
rising ocean levels.
Vi havde også et frokostmøde alene for vores hold,
hvor vi fik tips til amerikanske databaser, der kan
indeholde oplysninger om danske virksomheder eller
personer, som for eksempel køber eller sælger til den
amerikanske regering.
Søndag den 8. Marts begyndte hjemturen.
Mit udbytte:
Jeg har hørte mange forskellige måder at udnytte
muligheden for at hente tal i databaser for at
underbygge historier.
Det ser ud som om, journalistikken ændrer sig og bliver
mere veldokumenteret gennem tal og statistikker – så
man ikke bare nøjes med 2-3 cases og en ekspert for at
skrive en historie.
Der var også mange gode eksempler på, hvordan man
gennem interaktive kort kan inddrage seere og læsere.
Jeg hentede inspiration i mange af de foredrag, jeg
overværede – både med hensyn til hvilke emner, man
tage op – og hvordan man kan udnytte data til at
underbygge historierne.
Oplægsholderne er meget nemme at forstå, og der er
altid såkaldte tipsheets, hvor man kan få tips og links til
vigtige databaser.
Det var også meget udbytterigt at besøge journalistiske
centre som ex Center for Public Integrity for at se,
hvordan man laver undersøgende journalistik og prøver
at finde medier at samarbejde med.
Derfor kan jeg kun anbefale andre at deltage i
kommende ture til USA for at besøge amerikanske
medier og være med i Nicar-konferencer.
Det er en god måde at se, hvor en stor del af den
undersøgende journalistik bevæger sig hen.
