Finding the Human Face in a Data-Driven Investigation

We use data in our investigations to find out about the the scale of a problem that is affecting people, systems that aren’t helping them, or to shine a light on particular individuals. This workshop focuses on techniques for finding the human stories that help bring that data to life, from scoping the characters and settings that can help inject movement into your story, to tips on finding and interviewing key sources.
