[ddj] Computation + Journalism Symposium 2014

Wed Aug 6 09:45:28 UTC 2014

Dear Diakopoulos,

Is it possible for the people that is not possible to
attain the event, to find the papers?

Could you also suggest on what journal do papers
concerning Computational Journalism getting
published?

Kind Regards,
Fill
