Class Description
Data skills are vital for journalists. Often the deepest learning comes when those skills are applied to a specific topic. Students in this course will learn advanced data journalism skills, including statistics and programming to work with data. The data and examples we use will focus on disparity on a range of topics including race, gender, disability and others. The course will be a mix of lecture, speakers and hands-on exercises.
