Data Handbook 1
The Data Journalism Handbook was born at a 48 hour workshop at MozFest 2011 in London. It subsequently spilled over into an international, collaborative effort involving dozens of data journalism’s leading advocates and best practitioners.
From the Snowden revelations to the Panama Papers, reporters and editors face complex decisions when it comes to reporting on leaked data.
Databases can be so much more than just a place to find stories. Why not make a database the story? To showcase their storytelling power, we looked at 7 of the community's favourite examples of journalistic databases.
This special edition of Conversations with Data introduces you to the EJC's brand-new hub for data journalism - DataJournalism.com! We show you how to use this online learning space to read, watch, and discuss everything data.
We spoke to our Data Journalism Handbook 2 authors about data visualisation trends and challenges for newsrooms.
Accountability journalism represents the very best journalism in the industry. But even the best journalism has been disrupted by the emergence of social media. How can we regain and retain our distracted and distrusting audiences?
Despite the growing interest in data journalism in academia and newsrooms, there is a lack of systematic research into this domain, resulting in a divide between academic and industry practices. Bahareh Heravi bridges the gap with Megan Lucero.
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.
