Open data and information: the world is being flooded with data, Journalists will be able to make sense?

the movement for Open date, driven by the Obama and the British government, is making available on the internet a huge amount of raw data on a scale never before seen. In Italy the institutions are slow, while some projects created on the initiative from below (See Open House and Open Parliament). This data is available within the public ranging from budgets statistics, procurement contracts by, and thanks to their publication in open formats can be edited and republished. This amount of data requires someone who knows how to interpret and give meaning. The scandal of the repayments to the English parliamentary emerged thanks to data made public on the internet and reprocessed by the Guardian with the help of its readers online is just one of many recent examples. Journalists will be increasingly asked to provide data to the base of their investigations, know how to integrate within the narrative journalism, know how to display with intuitive infographics, and make it reusable by other. What can journalists do to enhance the amount of public data? How can we integrate the tools to reprocess data in journalism? What skills are needed to get into this field?

Alan Turing is one of the most important scientists who ever lived. Has set in motion with the digital revolution and its code has helped to save two million lives during the Second World War. Yet, few people today have never heard his name or know his story. A documentary film has been developed to change this. 100 years after his birth, a group of international production is carrying out this work as a journey to rediscover the man and mystery.

Alan Turing was a genius and eccentric instead of receiving accolades and respect after having cracked the Nazis' Enigma machine criptatrice, faced prosecution by the British government because he was gay. In 1954, Turing committed suicide at the age of 41 years after being forced to undergo hormone treatment to “adjust” his sexual orientation as he did with the bug of the programming code. He left behind a lasting legacy and persistent questions about what otherwise would have been if the company had embraced his unique genius instead of rejecting it.

Research and development are ongoing for this Documentary, with the intention of reaching millions of viewers around the world online, through broadcast and the theatrical release of the film.
