Charts, maps, games, spreadsheets and other data-focused features are becoming new essentials in online journalism, and are often the most popular and memorable pieces of stories.

Interactively learn from data journalism experts how to collect, analyze and present data in your next story or reporting project. They’ll each show a data journalism project and guide attendees through the tools and steps needed to accomplish a similar result. Audience members will leave with concrete skills and new tools to use on data journalism projects.
