Data Journalism: Getting the Most out of Data Classes
We will be teaching a range of data journalism skills at the #CIJSummer Conference 2023.
This session will give a brief description of the skills taught and is designed to help you identify the best sessions to attend, given your own experience level and your objectives for incorporating data-driven research into your work.
The panel of data journalism trainers will discuss how data journalism skills can improve your reporting and help attendees determine how best to utilise the expertise available at the conference to enhance their own data journalism.
The skills taught at the conference include:
– Interviewing spreadsheets
– R programming language
– Web Basics
– Web Archives
– Scraping
– Visual data
– Oil tracking data
And much more!
