“…Boundary objects are symbolic and materials artifacts that carry meanings between communities or institutions, allowing those meanings to be constructed and adapted by each (Star & Griesemer, 1989). As boundary objects constructed across settings, data representations can become powerful symbols that function as both proof and persuasion (Anderson, 2018).…”

When engaging issues at the intersection of science and society, science centers, museums and other informal STEM learning organizations struggle to center perspectives of communities most often impacted by the unequal distribution of technologies' benefits and harms. Increasingly, participatory design is being utilized to do this, but the field must continue to refine methods for accessing the expertise of community partners and keeping it present across multiple design stages and products. We share a case study in which a multi-institution project team, developing resources for educational programming around radio frequency technologies, worked with community design to establish a values foundation that could guide initial planning and ongoing development. We share design methods adapted from values sensitive design and equity-centered researchpractice partnership, as well as insights relevant to enacting design practice that can build relational equity, leverage data across institutional boundaries, and span locations, platforms and levels of expertise. Colin Dixon is a researcher and educator focussed on science learning across settings. Colin received a Ph.D. from the UC Davis School of Education. He works to understand and co-create learning experiences that are equitable, inclusive and centered around what young people want to do in their worlds. Sherry Hsi leads Making Waves with Radio at BSCS Science Learning. Her research aims to support inquirybased STEM, equity, and learner agency in museums and out-of-school settings. Dr. Hsi received her B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Engineering and Science Education from the University of California, Berkeley. Seth Van Doren received his B.A. degree in Chemistry from the University of California Berkeley in 2019 and is currently pursuing a PhD at UC Irvine. He researches authentic STEM investigations in K-12 settings, social learning, and increasing student epistemic agency.

“…Yet, despite being one of the most fashionable and current form of data employed in newsrooms to boost the credibility and accuracy of content (Anderson, 2018) they are routinely and frequently abused, hence failing to meet their desired purpose. In particular, numbers have gained the notoriety of being misused, fabricated and manipulated (Tang, Wang & Yi, 2023).…”

Purpose: In the wake of intensified production of fake newspaper content, this paper attempts to investigate the role that numbers play in the sub-editing of economic news, anchored on three main objectives: (a) To investigate the ways in which numbers used in economic news content are structured and cleaned, (b) To examine if some types of economic news numbers are transformed and formatted more significantly than others, and (c) To evaluate if certain economic news numbers are more susceptible to modifications than others. Methodology: Through systematic secondary research, blended with contextualised insights of fieldwork, the study examined various ways in which numbers used in Daily Nation’s economic news articles undergo additions, deletions, conversions, truncations, replacements, among other adjustments, prior to publication. To be as concise as possible, the study zeroed in on front-page, headline, kicker and briefs in a sample of 120 articles published between June 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022. Findings: The study established that despite sub-editors being the heart of news processing — who not only fact-check but also act as the last line of defence — majority of them labour with putting to use quantitative elements, thereby accelerating the dissemination of flawed content in newsrooms in Kenya. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study showed that media has the power to shape public thought and set the agenda, thereby validating the Lippmann’s Theory of Public Opinion Formation. Policymakers will find the outcome of this study useful because it will guide them to propose intense training to media actors to hone their numerical competence.

“…Büyük veri yığınları ile algoritmaların hayatımıza girişi haber odalarında yeni teknolojik pratiklerin kazandırılması noktasında zorlukların yaşanması, zaman içerisinde gerek gazetecilik sektörünün gerekse akademinin dikkatini çekmiştir. Böylelikle daha iyi bir haber üretimi için gazeteciler sayısal değerlerden oluşan belgeleri işleyerek, görselleştirip bunları grafikler halinde kullanmaya başlamıştır (Anderson, 2018).…”

Yayın kuruluşlarının haber odalarında giderek yaygınlaşması, veri gazeteciliğine yönelik bilimsel ilgiyi de artırmaktadır. Dünyada ve Türkiye’de iletişim fakültelerinin müfredatlarında veri gazeteciliği derslerine zamanla daha fazla yer verilmeye başlandığı görülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda bu araştırma makalesi ile Türkiye’de gazetecilik bölümlerindeki veri gazeteciliği eğitiminin mevcut durumunu saptamak, eğitim alanındaki düzenleme ve uygulamalara dair geri bildirim almak, veri gazeteciliği eğitiminde karşılaşılan zorluk ve fırsatları ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın amaçları doğrultusunda Türkiye’deki iletişim fakültelerinin gazetecilik bölümlerinde veri gazeteciliği dersi veren 10 akademisyen ile 10 Ağustos 2021 ile 24 Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında yarı yapılandırılmış derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular bilgisayar destekli nitel veri analiz programı “NVIVO 10” ile kodlanarak içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda veri gazeteciliği eğitiminin Türkiye’de yaygınlaşma eğiliminde olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Veri gazeteciliğini müfredata taşımada karşılaşılan zorluklar dört ana başlıkta toplanmaktadır. Katılımcılar, öğretim elemanlarının konuya ilişkin yeterli donanıma sahip olmaması, yeniliğe gösterilen direnç, sosyal bilimler öğrencilerinin sayısal yetersizliği, üniversitelerdeki altyapı eksikliği ve teknik yetersizliği en önemli zorluklar olarak sıralamıştır.
