[ecrea] Big Data for Media Analysis Conference - Paris, 16 & 17 December 2013

Conference Announcement:

*Big Data for Media Analysis /
Analyser les médias a` partir de grands corpus de données numériques*

December 16th-17th, Paris

The Transmedia Observatory OT-Media (www.otmedia.fr 
<http://www.otmedia.fr>) organizes a two-days international workshop in 
Paris.

The conference will gather researchers and experts in the processing, 
analysis, interpretation and visualization of data regarding the media. 
On the first day, several platforms and tools for media analytics will 
be presented and compared, looking for mutual strengths and potential 
biases. The second day will focus on how social scientists and industry 
experts use quantitative and qualitative methodologies to obtain 
results. These are some of the questions that will be addressed: Who 
produces information? How does information spread? What are the 
relationships among the different channels (radio, tv, web)? What is the 
role of the news agencies today? How do media landscapes evolve, and in 
particular the French one? What is the impact of the media on public 
policies?

The Transmedia Observatory (OT-Media) is a research project building a 
large database on the French media and developing innovative tools for 
data mining and visualization. More than 5 million documents have been 
gathered since July 2011, from over 2,000 fluxes, including tv, radio, 
web and AFP dispatches.
