What Are We Doing?
Challenge: We need to assemble a utility belt for data-driven journalists!
There’s increasing pressure on journalists to drive news stories and visualizations from data. But where do you start? What skills are needed to do data-driven journalism well?

Hosted by: Jonathan Gray, Open Knowledge Foundation and Liliana Bounegru, European Journalism Centre
