Reviews
Nicholas Diakopoulos, author of Automating the News: How Algorithms are Rewriting the Media:
Computing the News is required reading for anyone studying data journalism. Weaving together deep sociological insights with much-needed historical context, Parasie expertly parses how the field has tactfully integrated data and computing while maintaining normative commitments.
