Description

ProPublica and The New York Times Company’s African Heritage Network present "Reporting on Race in America: How Big Data Changed the Job Forever," a discussion featuring:

- Marcus Mabry, editor at large for The New York Times and author of "Twice as Good: Condoleezza Rice and Her Path to Power,” and the memoir "White Bucks and Black-Eyed Peas: Coming of Age Black in White America"
- Reporter Nikole Hannah-Jones, the National Association of Black Journalists' 2015 Journalist of the Year, who has just joined The Times from ProPublica; and
- Data Editor Jeff Larson of ProPublica, a Livingston Award winner.

Hannah-Jones and Larson are the among the leaders of data-centric reporting on race, their deep reporting and inventive data visualization resulting in ProPublica's interactive map of segregation during the Great Migration, for example, and its first-of-a-kind searchable database of school desegregation orders from the award-winning "Segregation Now" project.

Mabry, who conceived and edited the Times's "Race Remixed" series, is the perfect guide for the evening's questions: What does data tell us that even the best on-the-ground reporting cannot? How can every journalist use data more effectively? And, perhaps most important: In an era of “viral” content, how does the power of big data change the responsibilities of the journalists using it to examine these provocative issues?
