Free handbook helps journalists use data to improve the news
The Data Journalism Handbook is a free, open-source book that aims to
help journalists to use data to improve the news. It will be launched on
Saturday 28th April, at Italy’s leading journalism event, the
International Journalism Festival in Perugia, which attracts thousands
of journalists from around the world for a week of talks and workshops.
The book is an international, collaborative effort involving dozens of
data journalism’s leading advocates and best practitioners - including
from Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the BBC, the Chicago Tribune,
Deutsche Welle, the Guardian, the Financial Times, Helsingin Sanomat, La
Nacion, the New York Times, Pro Publica, the Washington Post, the Texas
Tribune, Verdens Gang, Wales Online, Zeit Online and many others.
The Data Journalism Handbook is an initiative of the European Journalism
Centre and the Open Knowledge Foundation.
The book will be freely available at datajournalismhandbook.org under a
