Visualization for Data Journalism

Although data storytelling has been a part of news practice since its inception, it is currently experiencing a revival. The graphic desks used to be considered "the art department", a subfield of the newsrooms' work, but are now a central part of newsrooms. These people often have many titles, including data journalists, news editors, graphic reporters and developers. Designers of news graphics will be expected to work closely with editors and reporters. This class teaches you how to visualize data and explain how it works. Learn how to create graphs such as those found in The New York Times, Vox and Pew. You will be able to share-embed your charts in blogs, publications, websites, and other media.
