Data Journalism Course

What will I learn?

Open your eyes to the power of data in journalism through our Data Journalism Training Programme. We go inside the impacts of climate change on farming, become experts in data analysis using spreadsheets and proper statistics, and learn how to tell strong stories with data. Find trustworthy data places, make visualizations that catch the eye, and write stories that people can understand easily, without big grammar. This training programme gives journalists the skills they need to turn complicated information into reports that are clear and interesting.
