Peter is a design technologist at Cortico where he heads the product development of the Earshot, a tool for surfacing new leads by enabling exploration of locally grounded social media and talk radio conversations. He specializes in data visualization and web application development with an emphasis on engaging with users on a regular basis. Born and raised in Canada, Peter was eventually lured to Boston by an offer to create an interactive analytics system for the Boston Celtics coaches and management in 2015. This cleared the path to a future of working at Cortico on tools for journalists a couple of years later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3877,"template":"","meta":{"start_time":0,"end_time":0,"moderators":[],"hashtag":[],"soundcloud":[],"scribble":[],"viafoura":[],"youtube":[],"vimeo":[],"facebook":[],"trint":[],"slideshare":[],"livestream":[],"resources":[],"video_embed":[],"first_name":"Peter","last_name":"Beshai","title":"Design Technologist","organization":"Cortico \/ MIT Media Lab","website":"https:\/\/cortico.ai","twitter":"pbesh","_sponsor_url":"","_sponsor_tagline":"","_sponsor_level":"","spay_email":""},"event":[],"yoast_head":"\nPeter Beshai - ONA18<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ona18.journalists.org\/speaker\/peter-beshai\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Peter Beshai - ONA18\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Peter is a design technologist at Cortico where he heads the product development of the Earshot, a tool for surfacing new leads by enabling exploration of locally grounded social media and talk radio conversations.
