The goal of the mapping police violence project is to clearly and effectively bring attention to the number of police killings in the United states, a number that is only tracked by project.
The goal of the publication “Interactive Maps for the Production of Knowledge and the Promotion of Participation from the Perspective of Communication, Journalism, and Digital Humanities” is to highlight the useful of maps in communications and digital humanities because of how they easily provide the reader with information.
The primary goal of digital humanities is to utilize digital technologies to enhance traditional humanities research. The project and publication relate this goal to the field of communications through the use of digital maps and other graphics to effectively provide readers with information.
