Journalism for Design?
Design & journalistic research: a mutual benefit

The New Newsroom addresses the important question: how can design be relevant for journalism? We see a lot of potential for design research in journalism, especially in the human centered practice of design, as well as designers' capability to tinker playfully with emerging technologies. On the other hand, we see many opportunities for designers to use journalistic skills and mindsets, such as the ability to kill your darlings, critically questioning pros and cons, and working in a public friendly manner. During this workshop we question how journalism and design research can mutually benefit from each other. Guest speakers during the workshop are Catalogtree, Maxime Benvenuto and Martina Huynh.
