*HCI for Accurate, Impartial and Transparent Journalism: Challenges and 
Solutions*

CHI Workshop, May 5, 2019, Glasgow, Scotland

We invite position papers and project descriptions for the CHI 2019 
workshop “HCI for Accurate, Impartial and Transparent Journalism: 
Challenges and Solutions”. <http://hciandjournalism.com/>This one-day 
workshop is a multidisciplinary forum of problem-solving and 
collaboration for academics and practitioners in the intersection of HCI 
and journalism.

The key question in this workshop is: How can HCI support accurate, 
impartial and transparent journalism? In this interactive, collaborative 
workshop, participants will actively engage in identifying ways for HCI 
to support journalistic goals and developing a shared roadmap for HCI 
for accurate, transparent and impartial journalism.

HCI and journalism researchers and practitioners from both academia and 
industry are invited to submit a position paper or a project description 
in the CHI Extended Abstract format (max. 4 pages). The paper should 
discuss the challenges in design, implementation and evaluation of 
technologies in journalism and present solutions how HCI can address 
these challenges. If the submission is a project description, it should 
describe the project objectives and discuss the challenges in the 
project execution in the framework of the workshop goals. Please add a 
link to the project and supply visuals with your submission if possible.

The submissions will be reviewed by the organizers and evaluated based 
on the contribution quality and the applicants’ diversity. To ensure 
cross-pollination across disciplinary and practice boundaries, we will 
compose a diverse group of participants with different backgrounds.

At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and 
register for both the workshop and one day of the conference. Please 
submit your paper to (HCIAndJournalism /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(HCIAndJournalism /at/ gmail.com)> by February 12, 2019.

*Workshop topics*

We welcome diverse submissions with making links across practitioner and 
academic perspectives, technologies, empirical contexts, theories and 
methods. Submissions should cover issues related to HCI’s role in 
enabling accurate, impartial and transparent journalism, including, but 
not limited to, the following:

  * The design of user interfaces and user experiences for supporting
    accuracy, impartiality and transparency in journalism

  * The role of design in mitigating misinformation and establishing and
    maintaining credibility in journalism

  * The design and development of workflows that blend journalists and
    algorithms in the production and/or curation of news information

    in development of tools to support journalistic activity
