[Wikimedia-l] Events and editathons with journalists

2015-02-26 Thread Andrea Zanni 
Dear all,
I was wondering if anyone, in the Wikimedia movement,
has done editathons and wiki-events with *journalists*.
In April, Wikimedia Italia will host a workshop at the International
Journalism Festival, and we'd welcome tips and suggestions.

Cheers

Aubrey

Hello, Andrea:

This sounds like an interesting project!

Here are some examples that popped into my head right away:
*CIS (is planning a workshop for journalists as part of Kannada language
outreach)
*Wikimedia CH (did some work building a network of journalism schools)
*Wikimedia Argentina (did at least one workshop for journalists back in
2012 in Rosario City)
*Wikimedia Deutschland (did at least one workshop back in 2013 with
journalists from ZDF Berlin)
*The Malayalam community did a workshop for journalists as part of the
events leading up to their community's 2013 conference

Not sure if everyone I've listed is working on this currently, but these
groups may have some experience to share. And there must be others I
haven't listed here! Seems like a good opportunity to share some learning
patterns on this topic, since I haven't found much there about working with
journalists! :)  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns

Cheers and best of luck with your project! We look forward to the results.

Winifred

Wikimedia Hungary did a workshop as well with sport journalists.

What we learnt is to keep it simple (teaching the basics is enough) and
brake it into multiple rounds (we broke it into two rounds - not enough)
and make it interactive (edit together from the first to the last sec).

Hope I helped a bit :)

Hi,

In Barcelona this March we'll host an editathon with journalists too. It
will be in the headquarters of Catalunya Radio with the purpose to improve
the article of the prominent journalist Ramon Barnils
, one of the founders of
Catalunya Radio, the public radio service in Catalonia. It will be the day
of the death of this journalist, and also the day of birth of Catalan
Wikipedia :)

All along the day the radio programs will connect in live with us to cover
how the editathon is going, to explain the history of Wikipedia, and it
will push our challenge to achieve 500k articles this year.

We'll have soon the article translated into English, so I invite you to
help us translating the article in your own language ;)

Apart from that, Amical also do workshops to digital journalism students at
Ramon Llull University.

Hi,

Last month, Andrea from Italy asked about events with journalists. You can
find at our monthly report
 a highlight
about the Wikipedia Day at Catalunya Radio.

Looking forward to hear your experience at International Journalism
Festival :)

Best,

On 13th of March, from 8am and throughout the day, Amical Wikimedia
 and Ramon Barnils Group
organized an Edit-a-thon at Catalunya Ràdio headquarters
,
the Catalan public radio station. The event lasted 12 hours with live
connections every half an hour. The aim of the initiative was to improve
the article of the eminent journalist Ramon Barnils
, a founder of Catalunya
Ràdio, updating and renewing his entry and other related items. Catalan
Wikipedia celebrated its 14th anniversary on the 16th of March, just when
it is about to reach 500,000 articles, and the 14th of March was the 14th
anniversary of the death of Ramon Barnils. 25 Wikimedians attended (8 new)
the edit-a-thon in different turns. All the radio programs of that day were
focused on Wikipedia: Wikipedians were interviewed on the factual
programmes, the analysis program discussed on the impact of Wikipedia, the
comedy show made jokes about Wikipedia, and the game show asked trivia
questions about Wikipedia. The Ramon Barnils Group and relatives released
photos of the journalist into Wikimedia Commons. The Catalan public TV and
many digital media covered it, too. In addition, Wikipedians improved the
Wikidata item and the Wikiquote page of Ramon Barnils, and made a lots of
pics and recorded the voice of the journalists of Catalunya Ràdio for
Wikimedia Commons. You can find the images here
 and
here .
