Doing Journalism with Data:

First Steps, Skills and Tools

Welcome to this data journalism course,

Doing Journalism with Data:

First Steps, Skills, and Tools.

Welcome to understanding a type of reporting

that is changing the way that new organizations work.

This is how you start to look for data in your field.

Most importantly, we learn how to think critically

with the data.

These skills will help you explore your data

and find the stories hidden in it.

With any sort of data, you want to try to find

another source of the same sort of data.

Sometimes you want to sort

by more than one variable at a time.

Form your data into functional and attractive

pieces of visual information.

Now, the good news is that every aspect of data journalism

can be learned; it's not inherent.

It's not something you're born with.

It's something you can be taught,

and this course is a good place to start.
