Interactive Storytelling with Data

Catalog description

Designed to introduce students to the world of data journalism and teach them to tell interactive stories using raw data. We will start from asking what is data journalism and how we find stories in the data. Students will learn how to acquire data from the web, normalize the data into databases and finally use software to tell engaging, interactive stories with collected data. Students will also learn how to collect data from traditional sources that aren't necessarily found online. Students are expected to complete a data-driven journalism project as part of the course. Also offered as a graduate course, CO-592 .
