• 3 elections in the same day
• 1 parliament election with 8 parties and
5.000 candidates
• 290 different municipalities with 2300
party officials
• 20 counties with 200 party officials
• How do we get the super local questions
and how can we get as many answer as
possible?
13. FIRST PHASE QUESTIONS TO THE LOCAL PARTIES

that they will fight for in the
local election
• With these answers we
constructed the local questions
• In total we hade about 1500
different local questions
21. OTHER MEDIA ORGANISATIONS
PUBLISHED THE VAA TOO
• Around 50 different local news papers
published the Valkompass as well
• We allowed them to have banner ads and
count the traffic in their web statistics
• We had a common release date together
with them
• They helped us with the selection of the
local political questions
39. Machine learning and data will not turn the
journalism we know upside down.
It’s just new tools we need to learn and master in
order to be relevant.
Hire system developers, statisticians and data
journalists and integrate them in the news room.
Now.
