[ddj] datas

Fri Aug 9 13:58:23 UTC 2013

Hi Maria,

Syracuse university has a great set of databases about immigration, law enforcement, and ICE detention centers. It will take some exploring and isn't fully comprehensive since lots of information requires FOIA to obtain but they have done a lot of excellent work already.

Hi,

Asking for a colleague. I'm looking for tools that allow a journalist to
make a story interactive using either a timeline or map metaphor. I am
aware of timeline.js and looking for things along this line that are either
open source or relatively easy to use by a non-technical journalist.

Your ideas are appreciated.

Heya,

While this document is (still) in French, my advice is to scan it though:
http://www.newsresources.org/wp-content/uploads/bdd_outils/

It's a compilation of the best tips/links shared on the Google+ community
(French-language again, sorry) named "Journalists Playing With Modern
Tools" (where I invite you to sign up to grab/share some tricks +improve
your French if needed^^):
https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/116980293240150398389

Cheers.

Alison,

You are welcome to use our application we built around timeline.js. It is a
rails app, but has a nice form to add events, handles multiple
languages/localizations, has categories and tagging, and stores the media
that timeline.js uses so if in the future the source disappears, your app
won't lose the images.

Hi Alison,

Timeliner lets you turn a Google spreadsheet of data into a timeline:
http://timeliner.okfnlabs.org/ It's built with lots of different open
source components, and is super easy to use.

Best regards,

Laura
