The Skills, Experiences and Mindsets that Make Great Product Thinkers and Product Managers
As product management roles become increasingly common in news and media organizations, people with an interest in the field should understand the skills, experiences and mindsets that will help them be successful. Here’s what working product managers say aspiring product thinkers need to succeed. What mindset does a product thinker need to possess?
How Newsday Launched Community News Alerts on Mobile. A Case Study in Product Thinking.
Building a successful product is a collaborative process requiring inspiration, intuition, user research, business savvy and technical know-how. This is the first of two case studies in this series showing how product thinking can be applied to the development of a journalism product. This one was written for Knight Lab by Ryan Restivo, Newsday’s project manager for mobile apps. Newsday is the go-to source for news and information on Long Island.
Ignite #NewsFoo 2012: 'Design is the missing link'
Over the weekend, some of the Knight Lab team participated in News Foo, an unconference at the Cronkite School of Journalism, hosted by O’Reilly Media and the Knight Foundation. It's in its third year, deliberately maintains small – somewhat controversial – attendee list of about 150 "campers," all of which are involved in technology and/or journalism an interesting ways. It was overwhelming and exciting and we feel incredibly grateful have had the opportunity to participate.
Another Big TimelineJS Update That You Shouldn’t Even Notice
There’s another big but invisible change coming to TimelineJS. In July, we announced a big update to TimelineJS on the day of the release. With some minor exceptions, we were right that most people didn’t notice. Next week, we’ll be making another big update, which, again, we hope you won’t notice. This time, we thought we should announce it ahead of time, because timelines created before January, 2015 will probably stop working unless steps are taken.
csvkit 0.8.0 (beta)
Principles¶ csvkit is to tabular data what the standard Unix text processing suite (grep, sed, cut, sort) is to text. As such, csvkit adheres to the Unix philosophy. Small is beautiful. Make each program do one thing well. Build a prototype as soon as possible. Choose portability over efficiency. Store data in flat text files. Use software leverage to your advantage. Use shell scripts to increase leverage and portability. Avoid captive user interfaces. Make every program a filter.

Why csvkit?¶ Because it makes your life easier.
Introducing StorylineJS
StorylineJS makes it easy to tell the story behind a dataset, without the need for programming or data visualization expertise. Just upload your data to Google Sheets, add two columns, and fill in the story on the rows you want to highlight. Set a few configuration options and you have an annotated chart, ready to embed on your website. (And did we mention, it looks great on phones?) As with all of our tools, simplicity is a priority.

The rise of the crime beat "news nerds"
Criminal justice journalism is suddenly awash in data reporting. The crime beat--sometimes accused of being hidebound--is beginning to catch up with a profound quantitative turn in the news business. Police, court and prison reporters are increasingly heeding the journalism-school trope to "follow the numbers." Examples are abundant, from legacy newspapers to niche digital outlets to advocacy-minded hybrids.
New Team Member: Heather Billings, Designer/Developer
We are pleased to announce that Heather Billings will be joining the Lab as a designer and developer. Heather comes to us from the Chicago Tribune, where she has been a member of the News Apps team for the past three years. I’m very excited to have the chance to work with Heather again. When we brought her onto the team at the Chicago Tribune, I was already impressed by her smart, humane, and generous presence on social media.
MIcrosoft Outlook stopped working on Yosemite
I ran Outlook for a day after updating to Yosemite, but after a reboot, it no longer works. When I click on the Outlook icon, it bounces a few times but never runs. Looking in system.log (via Console.app), it complains about a call to gestaltSystemVersion from both Outlook and Microsoft Database Daemon. (see below) I rebooted again, and I reinstalled Office for Mac 2011.
Googling for code solutions can be tricky - here's how to get started
Mad Libs was driving me mad. In order to learn JavaScript earlier this quarter, I set out to build a web application that would mimic a game of Mad Libs and immediately got stuck. The idea was that the game would prompt you to enter a set of random words according to specific parts of speech, and then return to you a story whose blanks had been filled in with those words. Cue a hilarious mix match of sentences.
Behind the dialect map interactive: How an intern created The New York Times' most popular piece of content in 2013
How do you create the most popular piece of content of the year at one of the nation’s most prestigious news outlet? Well, for starters, study or consider careers in politics, law, and philosophy before eventually deciding that statistics is for you. Then apply to grad school and while you're there dig in to some intriguing data that Harvard researchers had published 10 years prior, apply some stats and smart algorithms, post your work online, then wait for The New York Times to call.

Announcing StoryMapJS developer release - a new tool for storytellers
TimelineJS is the Knight Lab's most popular project, and is one of the most widely used interactive storytelling tools on the web. Today we're excited to announce an early-access release of its sibling, StoryMapJS. Like TimelineJS, StoryMapJS is primarily developed by Medill professor Zach Wise, based on his experience developing interactive news projects at The New York Times and the Las Vegas Sun.
TimelineJS — Now with even more Knight Lab
From the beginning, TimelineJS has been a project of Northwestern University Knight Lab. However, when Zach Wise first set out to create it, the Knight Lab had a less developed software process and identity, so Zach presented Timeline as a product of his personal Verite.co website. Since then, two things have happened: TimelineJS has become wildly popular, and the Knight Lab has established cohesive design guidelines and a more methodical software development process.
Chicago Crime Hack, day one
A big change is coming to StoryMapJS, and it will affect many, if not most existing storymaps. When making a storymap, one way to set a style and tone for your project is to set the "map type," also known as the "basemap." When we launched StoryMapJS, it included options for a few basemaps created by Stamen Design. These included the "watercolor" style, as well as the default style for new storymaps, "Toner Lite." Stamen...
