Learning How To Visualize Been getting a ton of requests for ‘how to’s and guides for creating decent visualizations and information designs. Made me think: maybe I could do some workshops in this area. I like developing ideas and working with people. So if you think you’d like to attend a workshop on visualization or organize one for your organisation, please fill in this quick form (30 seconds). In the meantime, you might be interested in a section I’ve been building in a far-flung corner of the site. The most recent one explores the stages we went through creating an infographic for Wired magazine about planets in other solar systems – or “exoplanets”. (Microscopic, dark and unimaginably far away, these tiny celestial objects should be impossible to spot. Here’s how we created it. Timelines: TimeTravel in TV and Film Yup, we went through 36 drafts of this. Versioning: Because Every Design Is Good For Something How do you flag and label 142 countries on a single map without choking the result?

Statistics Help for Journalists Numbers can't "talk," but they can tell you as much as your human sources can. But as with human sources, you have to ask! So what should you ask a number? Well, mathematicians have developed an entire field — statistics — dedicated to getting answers out of numbers. In 1996, I first published Statistics Every Writer Should Know, an online tutorial for math-phobic journalists. Running a business demands at least a basic knowledge of math and math concepts, so I'm including this tutorial as an appendix my 2012 book, How to Make Money Publishing Community News Online. Here, described in plain English, are some basic concepts in statistics that every writer should know... So, You're a Beginner? Mean Let's get started...

Data journalism at the Guardian: what is it and how do we do it? | News Data journalism. What is it and how is it changing? Photograph: Alamy Here's an interesting thing: data journalism is becoming part of the establishment. Two years ago, when we launched the Datablog, all this was new. Meanwhile every day brings newer and more innovative journalists into the field, and with them new skills and techniques. These are some of the threads from my recent talks I thought it would be good to put in one place - especially now we've got an honourable mention in the Knight Batten award for journalistic innovation. 1. Florence Nightingale's 'coxcomb' diagram on mortality in the army Data journalism has been around as long as there's been data - certainly at least since Florence Nightingale's famous graphics and report into the conditions faced by British soldiers of 1858. The big difference? 2. 3. Sometimes. 4. Read more about this map The datasets are getting massive - 391,000 records for Wikileaks' Iraq release, millions for the Treasury Coins database. 5. 6. 7.
22 free tools for data visualization and analysis You may not think you've got much in common with an investigative journalist or an academic medical researcher. But if you're trying to extract useful information from an ever-increasing inflow of data, you'll likely find visualization useful -- whether it's to show patterns or trends with graphics instead of mountains of text, or to try to explain complex issues to a nontechnical audience. There are many tools around to help turn data into graphics, but they can carry hefty price tags. The cost can make sense for professionals whose primary job is to find meaning in mountains of information, but you might not be able to justify such an expense if you or your users only need a graphics application from time to time, or if your budget for new tools is somewhat limited. Here's a rundown of some of the better-known options, many of which were demonstrated at the Computer-Assisted Reporting (CAR) conference last month.

Datajournalisme ? | hyblab 2014 Le mot « datajournalisme » vous est inconnu ou reste flou ? Cette page vous explique pourquoi c’est un sujet incontournable aujourd’hui pour les médias numériques. Découvrez d’abord la définition du « datajournalisme » donnée par Estelle Prusker-Deneuville, enseignante-chercheuse en datajournalisme et responsable de l’enseignement médias à SciencesCom – Audencia Group à Nantes. Si on synthétise, le datajournalisme, c’est une nouvelle forme de traitement de l’information où le journaliste part de données pour les transformer en une visualisation graphique attractive pour le lecteur. Objectif : Transformer des données en une application interactive Le datajournalisme est le processus qui amène à la fabrication d’une visualisation de données, plus couramment appelée « dataviz ». Trois vidéos intéressantes pour comprendre l’intérêt du datajournalisme : Trois approches différentes : celle du codeur Nicolas Kayser-Bril, celle du designeur Manuel Lima et celle du journaliste Simon Rogers.
How to: get to grips with data journalism A graph showing the number of IEDs cleared from the Afghanistan War Logs Only a couple of years ago, the idea that journalists would need to know how to use a spreadsheet would have been laughed out of the newsroom. Now those benighted days are way behind us and extracting stories out of data is part of every journalist's toolkit of skills. Some people say the answer is to become a sort of super hacker, write code and immerse yourself in SQL. Of course, you could just ignore the whole thing, hope it'll go away and you can get back to longing to write colour pieces. 1) Sourcing the data This is a much undervalued skill - with many journalists simply outsourcing it to research departments and work experience students. But broadly, the general approach is to look for the most authoritative place for your data. GDP - from the Office for National Statistics. Carbon emissions from different countries - from the US Energy Information Agency. Adobe PDF files are the enemy of open data.
jean-marc manach Data journalism training – some reflections I recently spent 2 days teaching the basics of data journalism to trainee journalists on a broadsheet newspaper. It’s a pretty intensive course that follows a path I’ve explored here previously – from finding data and interrogating it to visualizing it and mashing – and I wanted to record the results. My approach was both practical and conceptual. Conceptually, the trainees need to be able to understand and communicate with people from other disciplines, such as designers putting together an infographic, or programmers, statisticians and researchers. They need to know what semantic data is, what APIs are, the difference between a database and open data, and what is possible with all of the above. They need to know what design techniques make a visualisation clear, and the statistical quirks that need to be considered – or looked for. But they also need to be able to do it. The importance of editorial drive It’s not long before the journalists raise statistical issues – which is reassuring.
