Meet the #CIJSummer 2023 Data Team
Data journalism plays a key role in all our training. It was at the very early Summer Conferences (then called Summer Schools) that data journalism, known as Computer Assisted Reporting (CAR) was first introduced to the UK.
Back then we could hardly get anyone to attend – now it is a must-have skill for any journalist.
In 2023 we will have a fantastic data team, a mix of our long-term trainers and even our alumni, who are now working data journalists and trainers themselves!
We will be offering a mix of hands-on training: from spreadsheets to R programming language, from the web basics to data case studies. There will be something for every level.
