Since the Investintech – CAJ Journalism Scholarship first launched in November, we’ve been on the lookout for data journalism submissions with the potential to drive the next generation of journalists.
And after nearly six months of waiting, we were finally able to sit down with the submissions and the Selection Jury to start picking out a winner. Thanks to their time and expertise in evaluating the entries, they were able to select a strong candidate for the scholarship.
Investintech.com has partnered with a number of journalism oriented organizations and schools to help data journalists work with the PDF data they need with Able2Extract Professional.
As government agencies and organizations continue to send requested data to journalists in the PDF format, it becomes necessary and increasingly difficult to properly pull and analyze the information needed to report, publish, and present facts with integrity and based on evidence.
This is where we aim to help.
With COVID-19 self isolation, workers have been adjusting to a new daily routine. Major businesses, and small brick-and-mortar private businesses, have had to quickly adapt and prepare for shifting document workflows online, bracing themselves for higher volumes in online transactions over in-person interactions. Right now, technology is crucial to keeping customers connected to stores and services.
Indeed, businesses and professionals have to keep moving forward by figuring out how to make that transition work. To that end, digital tools are doing the heavy lifting, and this has been the new normal for a couple of months.
As early as the first two weeks of March, Google search terms related to working from home such as: “remote working,” “work from home,” “best webcam,” “best computer monitor,” and “best docking station,” have shot up, a clear indication that workers are looking for tips, tools or both to set themselves up.
As companies try to bridge the gaps in workflows, cloud and online tools are further solidifying themselves as staples in the remote working space. For instance, Zoom is a growing favorite conferencing tool to keep virtual company meetings going. Google Docs continues to be a front runner to help teams collaborate on documents. And Basecamp is a popular tool of choice for keeping teams connected and updated.
Teams, businesses and document workflows aren’t stopping. Even those that involve Able2Extract Professional.
