WHY FREE DATA

"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four. If that is granted, all else follows"

___ George Orwell, 1984 ___

WHY DEVELOP NEW SKILLS

“Every skill you don’t have leaves a whole class of stories out of your reach. And data stories are usually the ones that are hiding in plain sight.”

___ Scott Klein ___

BE A JOURNALIST IN A DATA DRIVEN WORLD

"But having an open data portal doesn’t automatically make you a haven of freedom – even Bahrain and Saudi Arabia now have open data portals. [...] This is where data journalists come in – by exposing and interrogating the data, we can test how accurate it is, mash it up with other datasets to produce results that tell you something new about the news.

WHAT'S NEW THIS WEEK IN THE WORLD OF JOURNALISM AND DATA? CHECK OUT THE WEEKLY LIST OF THE BEST ARTICLES AROUND THE WORLD!

HOT TOPIC OF THE WEEK

RENEWABLE ENERGY

1. BLOOMBERG


In 2010 coal supplied nearly half of America’s power. And renewable energy? Not an option at that time. Bloomberg analyses how solar and wind energy is growing along the country.

SOUTH SUDAN

2. AL JAZEERA

In South Sudan many journalists are denied access to or even barred from reporting within the country. This is why this project is interesting: how to find data?. For this reason Al Jazeera used a mobile phone survey to gather information from those in places traditional journalism cannot reach. That data was then verified against other reporting tools, including satellite imagery, on-the-ground interviews, public records, and submitted photos.

SOUTHEAST ASIA FIRES

2. REUTERS GRAPHICS

Animated maps, circle maps, satellite images. Indonesian farmers are again burning huge swathes of forest and peatland, creating a blanket of smoke that clouds the skies over large parts of the region. Visualize fire hotspots detected in the area is a good way to understand the phenomenon and its consequences.

RUSSIAN CINEMA

4. RIA NOVOSTI

I know that the article is difficult to understand for those unfamiliar with russian. But the combined use of visualizations and illustrations is perfectly balanced in this story of the russian cinema by Ria Novosti.

NETFLIX

5. FINANCIAL TIMES

The Financial Times data team worked hard to develop this interactive news. Especially to create a "draw your own" valuation tool. With this tool you can guess how much you think Netflix is worth.

That is all on Data
