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.

The DataJournaLIST - week8


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

FOOD AND AGRICOLTURE

1. FAO


14% of the 's food is lost after harvest and before it can reach the retail level. You can learn about where and why food loss and waste occurs in FAO’s SOFA2019 Report and find out what you can do to take action. Statistics, visualizations, illustrations, video and animations. Some cool graphic and serious concerns for humanity in this interesting report.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

2. EL DIARIO

It all started in 2011. This is the interactive story on how the Mar Menor was contaminated. The largest salt water lagoon in Europe, after decades breaking the law, and an underground chaos of canals, desalination plants and uncontrolled spills. A longform full of informations on the topic.


WOMEN AND WORK

3. WALL STREET JOURNAL

Where exactly the gender disparities start? The “broken rung” is the biggest obstacle that women face—and it’s just ONE of the key takeaways from this study published on The Wall Street Journal. A preview of the statistics: Though women and men enter the workforce in roughly equal numbers, men outnumber women nearly 2 to 1 when they reach that first step up. You can understand better looking istograms, pies and more!

BREXIT

4. REUTERS GRAPHICS

Every week it's impossible to exclude Reuters Graphics from the list! Even we're not talking about real data journalism this time, I can't not admire this wonderful piece of graphic journalism, that combine perfectly storytelling and nice illustrations. One of more chapters, this is also an interesting resource to understand better what's happening on the border between Eire and Northern Ireland.


CANADIAN ELECTIONS

5. THE GLOBE AND MAIL

We have a new entry in our list! Globe and Mail has been working for years with data. This time the team tried to visualize how canadian party leaders organize their campaign to win. They have to be pretty ruthless about spending their time, and their money, travelling to where they can win seats. Tracking where the leaders go can give you a good sense of how they are doing – and what they are fighting over.

That is all on Data
