*HCI for Accurate, Impartial and Transparent Journalism: Challenges and
Solutions*

CHI Workshop, May 5, 2019, Glasgow, Scotland

We invite position papers and project descriptions for the CHI 2019
workshop “HCI for Accurate, Impartial and Transparent Journalism:
Challenges and Solutions”.  <http://hciandjournalism.com/>This one-day
workshop is a multidisciplinary forum of problem-solving and collaboration
for academics and practitioners in the intersection of HCI and journalism.

The key question in this workshop is: How can HCI support accurate,
impartial and transparent journalism? In this interactive, collaborative
workshop, participants will actively engage in identifying ways for HCI to
support journalistic goals and developing a shared roadmap for HCI for
accurate, transparent and impartial journalism.

HCI and journalism researchers and practitioners from both academia and
industry are invited to submit a position paper or a project description in
the CHI Extended Abstract format (max. 4 pages). The paper should discuss
the challenges in design, implementation and evaluation of technologies in
journalism and present solutions how HCI can address these challenges. If
the submission is a project description, it should describe the project
objectives and discuss the challenges in the project execution in the
framework of the workshop goals. Please add a link to the project and
supply visuals with your submission if possible.

The submissions will be reviewed by the organizers and evaluated based on
the contribution quality and the applicants’ diversity. To ensure
cross-pollination across disciplinary and practice boundaries, we will
compose a diverse group of participants with different backgrounds.

At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and
register for both the workshop and one day of the conference. Please submit
your paper to HCIAndJournalism at gmail.com by February 12, 2019.

*Workshop topics*

We welcome diverse submissions with making links across practitioner and
academic perspectives, technologies, empirical contexts, theories and
methods. Submissions should cover issues related to HCI’s role in enabling
accurate, impartial and transparent journalism, including, but not limited
to, the following:

   - The design of user interfaces and user experiences for supporting
   accuracy, impartiality and transparency in journalism


   - The role of design in mitigating misinformation and establishing and
   maintaining credibility in journalism


   - The design and development of workflows that blend journalists and
   algorithms in the production and/or curation of news information


   - Application of design methodologies, such as value-sensitive design,
   in development of tools to support journalistic activity


   - Identification of methods and theories for effectively examining HCI’s
   role in supporting journalistic goals


   - The design of interactive news media applications, platforms,
   services, tools, or content
