Description
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? What’s missing from existing tools and documentation? Put together a user-friendly handbook for finding, cleaning, sorting, creating, and visualizing data — all in service of powerful stories and reporting.
A group of leading data journalists, developers and others are meeting to kickstart work on the handbook. Read more.
Hosted by: Jonathan Gray, Open Knowledge Foundation and Liliana Bounegru, European Journalism Centre
