Hi everyone, here's an update NewsFrames, plus some details about where everyone is discussing NewsFrames projects.
Specifically, we want to make sure you know where the conversations are happening on Slack — see below for some active channels and projects. If you're not on Slack, send Nevin an email at nevin.thompson[at]globalvoices.org, and he'll add you. Or, just leave a comment below.
6 Slack Conversations: Which One Interests You?
Since we kicked off in January, we have been really active on Slack with a number of new volunteer researchers and contributors, thinking, drafting and researching and writing stories.
Besides the main NewsFrames Slack channel [1], the group has come up with some story themes and have started working on projects, and we're discussing them in the following channels:
1) Info Disorder: misinformation, disinformation, propaganda (link to Slack channel [2])
2) Representations: representations of culture, gender, nations (link to Slack channel [3])
3) Migrations: stories on migration (link to Slack channel [4])
4) Rising Frames: applying data analysis to examine how indigenous and marginalized communities are represented: (link to Slack channel [5])
5) Power Mapping: meme mapping (link to Slack channel [6])
6) Media Lists: help build an accurate source list for your country or region for Media Cloud (link to Slack channel [7])
As well, for Lingua translators, we’ve started a #nf_translation as a spot to encourage/help discussions about how to translate pesky NewsFrames terms (framing, framespotting, etc). Ask on Lingua Community Slack [8] for more information.
