Ever wondered what beats journalists were covering in the 19th and 20th centuries? Now you can find out, thanks to a new interactive map built by Georgia Tech’s Research Institute and the University of Georgia’s eHistory initiative.
According to Slate, the map tracks keywords throughout the Library of Congress’ historical newspaper database and creates a visualization of the most frequent terms and keywords that appear.
"The frequency graph on each search is similar to Google’s Ngram, but more reflective of actual usage, since books take years to go into print and reappear years later in multiple editions," said Claudio Saunt, a historian at the University of Georgia.
You can also filter the visualization according to date, in case you wanted to see which parts of the country reported on Jefferson Davis both during and after the Civil War, for example. Happy exploring!
Agência Pública, a prime example of the independent media landscape in Brazil, has launched two innovations during the month of its five-year anniversary: a cultural center to support ind
To mark its five-year anniversary, Agência Pública, a nonprofit investigative journalism outlet in Brazil, announced the launch of Casa Pública, a new cultural center, and the Map of Independent Journalism (pictured above).
Casa Pública will act as a platform to facilitate new independent journalism projects across Brazil and Latin America as a whole. The Map of Independent Journalism will be a survey of these independent projects, with 70 of them currently showcased on its site.
“In these five years, Agência Pública has persistently covered violations of Brazilians’ rights,” the organization said in a release. “Now, from Casa Pública, it plans to incubate new independent journalism initiatives and promote the exchange of experiences between professionals from around the world who are interested in investigative journalism and human rights.”

A member of NPR’s support team for large-scale disaster coverage shares tips on reporting on tragedies while also preserving mental health.
How can journalists tell stories of tragedy and crisis — stories that undoubtedly need to be told — without subjecting themselves to psychological burden?
It’s a question that has become increasingly pertinent as psychologists have gained a better understanding of the significant mental health risks that come with viewing violence and traumatic imagery as part of one’s occupation.
For Russell Lewis, @npr’s Southern Bureau Chief, coordinating large-scale disaster coverage is just another part of the job. As part of NPR’s Go Team, Lewis helps journalists get basic supplies and rotates reporters to help them avoid crisis-coverage burnout. He recently shared his tips on protecting one’s psychological well-being with Current.org.
IJNet has also published numerous articles on keeping journalists safe from psychological trauma while covering crises. Read more about resources for journalists covering traumatic events and the considerations journalists must make when using graphic imagery in their reporting.
Instead of headlines, you get messages that read like texts from a friend—if your friend were a news-obsessed but reliable source.
@quartz’ first mobile app looks unlike pretty much any news app you can think of — because technically, it’s a news app that functions like a chat app.
Launched on Thursday, the app allows users to literally chat with the news by sending headlines to the user much like one would send a text message to a friend. These messages occasionally contain gifs and other engaging goodies. Next to each message bubble is an arrow icon that you can click to read the full story. To get the next headline, you can simply reply with “next” or “anything else?” If you have questions about a news story’s specifics, you can ask those of the app as well.
Matt Webb, a technologist who has written extensively about conversational user interfaces, told Wired that this is likely where the future of news apps — and apps in general — is headed.
“It feels absurd to me that we talk to our friends one way, and talk to our apps by pointing and jabbing our fingers at boxes,” Webb said. “It feels like there’s a new UI paradigm emerging, and it’s based around messaging.”

Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma releases guide to reporting on mental health without contributing to social stigmas
Reporters are the first responders of the journalism industry. What they write can have a tremendous impact on public opinion and thought — particularly when it comes to reporting on the complex topic of mental illness.
“The media influence, to a perverse degree, public opinion and public policies, both of which have the potential to improve the care and the lives of people with conditions like depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and brain diseases,” wrote André Picard, health reporter at The Globe and Mail.
To establish a code of standards for journalists, the Canadian Journalism Forum on Violence and Trauma recently released the Mindset Media Guide. The guide includes pointers on interviewing individuals with mental illness, an overlook of mental health stigma and other best practices.
To read the English-language guide, click here. The guide is also available in French.
And if you currently report on mental health, be sure to enter your work to win the National Press Foundation’s Carolyn C. Mattingly Award for Mental Health Reporting, which comes with a US$10,000 prize, by March 15.
Beginners can use DataBasic's tools to more easily navigate datasets
Data journalism is one of the most thriving niches of contemporary journalism. Many of IJNet’s own articles discuss some of today’s biggest data journalism trends, tools and resources.

DataBasic.io, a new suite of web tools, aims to solve this problem for newcomers. Currently comprised of three tools — WordCounter, WTFcsv and SameDiff — DataBasic introduces key concepts of working with data.
