There are thousands of journalists either working from home or in full self-quarantine this week as news outlets try to limit COVID-19’s reach within their organizations.
“We were able to demystify this black box, this algorithm that had very scary connotations, and break it down into what ended up being a very simple linear model.”
“It’s basically like with anything that you do in media: Is it interesting? Is it easily accessible? Is it compelling? Are there reasons for me to come back?”
“So many news organizations have these kinds of datasets, but don’t have the resources to build out a marketing channel or sales support system to do anything with them. We want to offer that support.”
“In a lot of ways this serves dual purposes: one of them being a publication platform for us to do fun, interesting, or experimental things. The other is to be that platform for other people.”
