Representation in News Graphics

Yes, we're back! In an attempt to revive the Data Viz Meetup Berlin since Betahaus closed its door at its old location, we'll meet a bit further west: The nice peeps from ZEIT Online let us use their event space.

What?
---------------------------------
This time, we'll talk about how data visualization can help us to represent people in all their diversity and nuances. Since this is a blurry topic, Lisa (that's me) will give a short introduction to the issue and what some data viz people have said about it so far.

Who?
---------------------------------
We're happy to announce three speaker groups:

Zeit Online's Data Viz people will talk about their project "The New Colors of Europe" (https://www.zeit.de/politik/ausland/2019-07/european-election-municipalities-eu-states-results-analysis-map), which is their in-depth coverage of the 2019 EU election.

Marie-Louise Timcke (and maybe one of her colleagues) from Funke Interaktiv talks about how they simultaneously covered the elections on a local level for the different regions of several local newspapers in Germany.

Cherian Grundmann will talk about "Nationalism and Dataviz - How popular media routinely fails to represent EU citizens", with a focus on the 2019 EU elections. He's the founder of OneEurope, an international digital magazine, in order to accelerate the development of cross-European awareness and identity.

As always, if you have announcements to share, you can also do so at the end of the meetup.

Where?
---------------------------------
ZEIT Online! It's very, very close to the S-Bahn station "Anhalter Bahnhof". Exit there, then look for a ground-level corner of a building that's completely out of glass. You'll find a glass door to this glass room. That's where we'll be.

We're very much looking forward to seeing you there!
