futurejournalismproject: Visualizing ten years of violence against journalists in Afghanistan Via MediaShift: Internews and Nai, an Afghan media advocacy organization, have collected hundreds of reports of threats, intimidation, and violence faced by journalists in Afghanistan. We recently announced a new site, data.nai.org.af, which features 10 years of these reports. While Nai’s data previously resided in spreadsheets, the new site allows the public to access hundreds of reports through visualizations and to download it directly. With this site we’re raising the profile of media freedom in a country often characterized as among the most dangerous in the world for journalists. Take, for example, the case of Omaid Khpalwak, a reporter with Pajhwok Afghan News who died recently in an attack on Tarin Kot, capital of Uruzgan. Freelance journalists are among the top five groups experiencing violence. The others are formal news organizations. For data wranglers, Internews and Nai are releasing the data in .csv and .geoJSON formats. You can explore the infographic and export the data here.

Is the U.S. Using Info from Bin Laden's Hard Drive for Drone Attacks?

Days after U.S. Navy SEALs took hard drives, memory sticks and personal computers from Osama bin Laden’s hideout, both Pakistan and the U.S. have launched major offensives against suspected Islamic militants. On Friday, a U.S. drone strike reportedly killed 12 militants in Pakistan and another U.S. drone strike in Yemen, the first since 2002, killed two suspected Al Qaeda operatives. And, as reported minutes ago, Pakistani forces have rounded up 40 people in Abbottabad suspected of having connections to bin Laden. Is the massive data trove recovered from bin Laden’s compound already paying off?
