Course description
This course applies journalistic research and storytelling techniques to the vast array of available digital information to empower students to generate advanced data-driven reporting. Students will find, collect, clean, analyse, filter and visualise data sets to produce compelling public-interest journalism. The course also considers the practice of data-driven journalism in the context of its history, the current media landscape, emerging technologies and the ethical codes and concerns that impact on this evolving journalistic specialisation.
