Absolutely not! DataJournalism.com is for everyone, beginner to advanced, who has an interest in data journalism. Some of our resources are tailored for those of you just getting started, like our video course Doing Journalism with Data: First Steps, Skills and Tools, while others are for more advanced audiences.
Is everything really free here?
Yes. All of our content and courses are free to access. To enroll in the courses you will need to sign in, but that’s also completely free.

I’d like to have a public profile page, how can I get one?
At the moment, only authors and contributors can have a public profile page. But don’t worry, there are many ways to contribute content, like submitting advice to our Conversations with Data newsletter, or pitching an article to our Editor.
Is this website suitable for students, universities or schools?
Yes! At DataJournalism.com, our focus is on learning. That means that everything we produce aims to help you learn a new skill, or advance an existing one. We strongly encourage universities and schools to use our resources in their courses. We can also set up private sections (Clubs) for your institution, email us at [email protected] for more information.
How does the editorial process work?
Our Editor works closely with experts to produce Long Reads that will help you learn something new about data journalism. From data visualisation, to new areas of reporting, data ethics, and everything in between, we want to make sure that you’re covered.
