Overview

In our increasingly data-driven world, visualisations are becoming a mainstream story form rather than just a complement to news. The most effective stories are often interactive, visually compelling, and provide deep insight through data.

It is now a must for one to know how to obtain, clean and analyse the growing archive of digitised information as audiences seek information that is simple and easily understood.

This course will focus on putting news into context by simply using data to inform and assist journalistic work without any coding requirements.

Participants also have an option this March, to sign up for a joint certificate 6-day course in collaboration with HELP University’s Faculty of Communications.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Understand what data journalism is and how it works on a busy news desk
