Journocoders: The art of data journalism

​This month we'll be learning 'the art of data journalism', an introduction covering all the basic skills you need to find and tell stories with data.

​We'll be following a multi-part tutorial covering foundational data skills, working with real-world data, overcoming common problems, data joining, aggregation, as well as how to create professional charts, maps, and other visualisations. If you're a reporter wanting to learn how to use data to find stories, an aspiring data journalist, or someone working in data journalism who wants to refresh their skills, there's something for you.

​​All of our events are suitable for beginners, and no programming experience is required. Bring a laptop along as this a practical, hands-on workshop. Please also sign up for a Dropbox account if you don't already have one so you can edit the shared doc we'll be using during the event.

​​What is Journocoders? We are a community and monthly meetup for journalists and other people in the media who want to learn technical skills for use in their reporting -- and meet likeminded others.
