[ddj] Computation + Journalism Symposium 2014

[Dizen Filippos.]

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
