編輯必備！4個助你挖掘價值訊息的選題工具

(This is a repost from initiumlab.com by Hu Pili, Ren Xinya, click the link to read the original: 編輯必備！4個助你挖掘價值訊息的選題工具)

從事編輯工作，經常會爲「選題」頭痛 。在巨量資訊中，如何能夠大海撈針、找到最有價值信息？在這裏，我們為大家推薦四款選題必備「神器」：

1. Feedly

一款經典的Feed訂閱工具。如果想提高閱讀質量，僅在社交網絡上被動接收訊息是遠遠不夠的。許多媒體、博客、網站都提供RSS Feed（目前多用Atom Feed），可以用Feedly來彙總。除了方便訂閱、歸類、追蹤之外，Feedly還提供社交熱度的指標，協助發現趨勢議題。此外，分享到Twitter、收藏到Evernote等都很方便。目前，高級搜索、關鍵詞監控等高級功能需要付費，並且免費版也有訂閱數量限制。

「就三招！多看、多想、多學」。

這邊推薦一些 Data Journalism 相關的好站，讓你從平時就可以培養數據素養，從不同面向來探索跟學習數據新聞。

(This is a repost from initiumlab.com by Chia ni Liu, click the link to read the original: 哥大資料視覺化大師 Soma 在浸會大學的密技分享)

Data Journalism 是一門極大的學問，從搜集資料、清理、修正、分析、到找到好故事的過程中大概有幾百種可以學的技能或是知識。在有限的時間和精力下，哥倫比亞大學著名的大師 Jonathan Soma 建議記者至少學好設計，使用適當的手法呈現資料，讓讀者能在最短的時間內吸收資訊。那麼資料視覺化都有哪些機密呢？

核心觀念：

  1. 越多的資料想要呈現，讀者能接收到的資訊越少。
  2. 站在讀者的角度思考，只專注在讀者需要知道的資訊上。
