Curious Saturday: Alison Killing: a beacon of truth through data-driven journalism #Data-driven journalism is a powerful tool that uncovers #humanrights abuses by merging online investigations with traditional journalistic techniques. By analyzing social media data, satellite imagery, and other sources, a comprehensive picture of injustice emerges. This approach not only validates eyewitness accounts but also provides concrete evidence to hold perpetrators accountable. Through the utilization of reliable #opensourcedata, such as satellite and #socialmedia imagery, journalists can expose the darkest corners of our world. Alison Killing, an esteemed journalist and TED Fellow, advocates for the increased use of trustworthy open-source data, like satellite and social media imagery, to illuminate the patterns of injustice that plague our #society.

Of course it’s a different case if it’s terrible people, criminals or decent, honest people that are afraid of you. It’s simple, really: The type of people that are afraid of you, will tell you what type of power you’re wielding. In the (virtual) workplace, and beyond it.
