With key elections scheduled in numerous countries around the world in 2022, GIJN’s new guide to investigating elections includes this chapter on two powerful new tools that can be used to track down the prime disseminators of political misinformation online.
ইনফোগ্রাফ কীভাবে বানাতে হয়, তা আমাদের অনেকেরই জানা নেই। সময় থাকলে ভারি কোনো সফটওয়্যার শিখে নেওয়া যায় বা অর্থের বিনিময়ে পেশাদার কাউকে ভাড়া করা যায়। কিন্তু এই দুটোর কোনোটিই যদি না থাকে? গ্রাফিক্সের কোনো অভিজ্ঞতা ছাড়াই যদি ইনফোগ্রাফ বানাতে চান, তাহলে জেনে নিতে পারেন এই অনলাইন টুলগুলো সম্পর্কে । শুধু এগুলো দিয়েই জন্ম দেয়া সম্ভব রীতিমত পেশাদার মানের কাজ।

Public records sometimes say the darnedest things. One example: A declassified memo from 1977 shows that the NSA wondered if psychics could nuke cities so that they became lost in time and space (yes, like in the post-apocalyptic anime Akira). Other times, it’s what they don’t say — like when the FBI found it necessary to redact the name of Superman’s alter-ego, Clark Kent.
Engaging and interactive journalism is still possible even without an extensive knowledge of coding. But how?
Engaging and interactive journalism is still possible even without an extensive knowledge of coding. But how? We’ve taken the guesswork out, scouring the internet to find the most accessible tools to create multimedia content.
For our series about journalists’ favorite tools, we spoke with Joel Konopo of Botswana’s INK Centre for Investigative Journalism. He told GIJN’s Olivier Holmey all about how he uses satellite images to expose corruption, Cryptomator to encrypt sensitive files, and lots more.
