FLAME SUMMER SCHOOL

An opportunity to experience the liberal ethos

Data Journalism

Data Journalism

About the Program

The objective of the course is to provide insight in and relevant skills in web- and data journalism. Presently web journalism is a well-established discipline, however data journalism is still largely unexplored. We will give an overview of current web journalism (including Social Media) with practical exercises for students. We will make the first steps in creating data maps, teach what type of text and graphs will mutually reinforce each other with the twofold aim of generating more traffic and/or more data to, through and for a website. We train using real websites and Facebook pages, real data and real graphs.

Course Objectives

  • To provide a hands-on crash course in web and data journalism.
  • To understand which data can be used in web-text, social media, web-maps, or graphs.
  • To understand the relation between any web activity (story, image, page-tagging), social media, traffic and data intake.
