Voelspriet heeft ja gezegd tegen een uitnodiging van de wereldfederatie van onderzoeksjournalisten om te komen spreken op een congres in Canada, zie http://www.caj.ca/events/conf-2007/index.html. Voor grotendeels Amerikaanse en Canadese journalisten ga ik meer vertellen over:
1. Go Beyond Google. (And Go Zen)
So you know Google and you consider yourself an experienced searcher? This workshop teaches you a simple, but powerful method to find hidden databases on the web, regardless the topic. The course is a nightmare for intelligent people like you. Forget your knowledge about the web. Empty your head. Go Zen. Only the humble will find hidden gems without effort. Experience the great paradox: find new information with Google that isn't in Google. With lots of exercises.
2. Search trends 2007
The latest search trends for journalists. How to build your own search machines for your own specialties. The newest intelligent agents, the best new Google tricks of 2007, the newest services. Extra: using Desktop Search to get scoops.
3. CSI Internet
Forensic searching on the web! Find hidden data in photo's, Microsoft Word Documents, HTML and other material. Find the publication date, even when it's not there. Track down what organizations do with your questions by tracking the path of you e-mails. With great examples from BBC and LA Times.
4. RSS for mortals
So you hate RSS because you hate information overflow? Think twice.
Control the news flow by controlling RSS. How to organize information and how to search for great feeds. Monitor how foreign media write about your country, your region or famous persons, even in Chinese or Arabic. Use RSS for background stories.
