data, news

I must confess: I was slightly reluctant before joining the Inaugural Colloquium of D&N Society. I was afraid we will hear a lot about the mantra of data without even scratching the surface of “what data is really about?” and “how can we make the most of it without making it larger than life?”.

(This is a repost from “P话” http://bit.ly/1OiVjaa)

P話停更許久,很多朋友來關心過。感覺是時候報報近況。

那現在我在做什麼?——我是記者。在「端傳媒」。

說時髦一點,是「數據記者」。唬人一點,也可以自稱「數據科學家」,畢竟我還是有些許學術和技術背景。既然是「數據記者」,那我們做的自然就叫「數據新聞」了。什麼算數據新聞呢?回答這個問題,如同回答什麼是雲計算?什麼是物聯網?什麼是大數據?什麼是H5?……和任何一個新興行業一樣,buzzword的背後,有人在做乾貨,有人只是在玩弄商業詞藻。有人是興趣使然,有人只是職業憂慮——怕跟不上這一波潮流。所以,不如拋開定義,舉點例子。其實,我幾個月前寫的文章《40张图解Code for系列风潮》中,提到兩個案例即是。 Continue reading →

[Body Text in Chinese, Infographics in English] District Council Election 2015 in Hong Kong – the fist ever general elections after the Occupy Movement. Both sides of the politics, government officials, even Beijing hugely care the elections. Coming up the LegCo election in just a year away, many of the political parties are trying to pave their way, especially for the 5 Super Seats. The constituency covers all regions of Hong Kong. How about the post-umbrella candidates, would this be the end for them? As the results of District Council Election arrive, we shall have a sense of what could happen in 2016 LegCo Election.

【中文文章;英文互動圖片】2015年區議會選舉——作為佔領運動後第一場大型選舉,不論泛民、建制,政府中人以至北京都十分重視。加上來年立法會選舉,不少政黨都以區選鋪路,特別是區議會(第二),即超級區議會五個全港單一選區議席,更是兵家必爭之地。還有傘兵新勢力,又如何延續氣勢?區議會選舉過後,我們也許可以從中找到來年立會選戰的一些感覺…

[Body Text in Chinese, Infographic in English]

The Pan-Democrats fails to flip the table with a small margin, high voting rate seems not helping anymore as the Pro-Establishment holds on in EVERY District Council. How was the performance of the parties. You are told that the tight fights in some constituencies, what exactly happened? How representative are the elected persons are actually…

【中文內文,英文互動圖片】

2015年區議會選舉塵埃落定,泛民差一點就能翻盤,控制區議會;建制派繼續把持,高投票率對泛民未必有利?各個政團表現如何?部分選區的戰情有多激烈?究竟當選的人有多大代表性?
