Last month, we successfully organised an International Communication Association preconference titled “A Computational Turn in Journalism”. This hybrid day-long event, hosted by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of NUS, saw 30 presentations from scholars around the world over 3 sets of parallel sessions. We were also lucky to have two in-person keynotes by renowned experts studying the intersection of journalism and computation. See the full preconference program here.
