The fifth European Computational and Data Journalism Conference aims to bring together a wide range of academics and industry practitioners for a large-scale inclusive event to discuss, present and learn about new research and practice in the broad fields of computational and data journalism. We hope to attract researchers with curiosity about journalism, as well as news organisations looking to expand their reporting capabilities or experiment with new ways to generate, present or distribute stories.
We hope to attract researchers with curiosity about journalism, as well as news organisations looking to expand their reporting capabilities or experiment with new ways to generate, present or distribute stories.
We invite the submission of both academic, research-focused and industry-focused talks and sessions for the conference, on the subjects of journalism, data journalism, and information, data, social and computer sciences and artificial intelligence. Talks and sessions might cover a tool or methodology that could support new kinds of reporting or storytelling.
Perhaps you are a social scientist with a new way to think about public opinion. Or you are a researcher in the digital humanities with a fresh approach to thinking about collections of texts, identifying who they are about and the situations they describe. Or you are a media artist with a new visualisation of event-based data, exploring the temporality of how things unfolded. You might consider proposing a complete session on the description of a significant collaboration between journalists and some other field, perhaps discussing the backstory to a complicated piece of reporting.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- AI in the newsroom
- Responsible AI and journalism
- Application of data and computational journalism within newsrooms
- Bias, ethics, transparency and truth in journalism in the age of AI
- AI, Data and Computational Journalism education and literacy
- Automated, robot and chatbot journalism
- Data journalism and data storytelling
- Algorithms, transparency and accountability
- ‘Post-fact’ journalism and the impact of data
- News games and gamification of News
You may contribute to the conference in different ways. You can propose a refereed paper, a contributed talk, a contributed session, or a contributed workshop. In general, proposals should explore the interface between computing, data and journalism, covering the entire process and practice of journalism in context.
- Propose an academic peer-reviewed paper presenting original research with a three to five-page PDF. These can be submitted using the ACM template here. Papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
- Propose a contributed workshop with an abstract of at most 250 words. These are training sessions led by journalists or researchers, introducing a topic of interest to the community.
- Propose a contributed industry/practice talk with an abstract of at most 250 words.
- Propose a contributed panel with three or four speakers. Each speaker will provide an abstract of at most 250 words, and the session organiser should submit a similar abstract describing the overall topic of the session.
All proposals should be submitted through CMT, with a deadline of 2nd June 2025
