Data visualisation
Charts and maps have become ubiquitous in todays newsrooms. They convey stories with numbers much better than text alone does and they are shared easily. But not every journalist is a numbercruncher or a graphics designer. And a lot of newsrooms, especially smaller ones, don’t have the means to employ graphic journalists that can craft charts and maps. In this course we introduce and learn to use some tools every journalist can adopt to produce graphics that can support or carry a story.
