Description
Story-Based Inquiry is a field-tested method for defining, deepening and organizing investigations. It consists of four tools -- a hypothesis, a timeline, a source map and a master file -- that enable you to structure a story as you conduct research. The process is simple, and it provides big gains in efficiency. Since its publication by UNESCO in 2009, Story-Based Inquiry has been used by thousands of journalists and translated into more than a dozen languages. In this session the authors will take you through the process, using the example of a recent transnational investigation into agricultural pollution. The session will be of immediate value to reporters who have not yet undertaken long-form work, reporters who have difficulty conceptualizing and pitching a project, and those stuck in the middle of an ambitious project and can't get control of their material.

Description
After a brief introduction of the most important Google operators, we will have questions that are to be answered by clever googling. Apart from getting to know these operators, search term choice is key. This quiz will show you what to consider. We start with asking precise questions to defined sources only and will end up with what other people will call "Google hacking" (it's not, but still fun).
If you are in for the gamification version of a Google course, bring your laptop and have fun!
