“From data to news: without data skills, stories remain untold in the data journalism book

A fortune of available data, but only a handful of journalists who know how to analyze it. Numbers in the news are often merely conclusions provided by companies or organizations that want to spread that one figure that neatly fits into their narrative. But what if there are other stories to tell? Who brings those to light if there are no journalists who can do the calculations themselves?

From data to news offers an answer to that challenge: a practical introduction to the field of data journalism. The book teaches you how to work with Excel and shows how to find, understand, analyze, and visualize data. With recent examples, step-by-step explanations, and practical exercises, you will build a story with numbers yourself. And not unimportantly: with attention to a smooth writing style.

This book is a practical guide for journalism students and for journalists who want to work with numbers themselves. Clearly written and immediately applicable in any context. You can order the book via https://www.lannoocampus.be/nl/van-data-naar-nieuws
