Event Details

Learn about some of the hottest jobs in the news business!

News organizations are eager to hire people who have data and/or coding skills, but there simply aren’t enough qualified people applying for these jobs.

A group of journalists, including several recent U of M graduates, are going to talk about their jobs analyzing data and building online data visualizations and news apps, and tell you how they got there. Some started out as journalism students; others came from computer science. But all will talk about how their positions are highly valued in their news organizations, and give them a unique opportunity to watchdog government, educate the public, and also help reinvent journalism in the digital age.

Panelists:

  • Frank Bi, editorial engineer, The Verve, @FrankieBi
  • Dan Bauman, data reporter, St. Paul Pioneer Press, @danbauman77
  • Emma Carew Grovum, staff editor, New York Times, @emmacarew

Organizer

Minnesota Journalism Center

The Minnesota Journalism Center was established in 1979 through a gift to the University of Minnesota from the late John Cowles, Sr., chairman of the Minneapolis Star and Tribune Company, and his wife, the late Elizabeth Bates Cowles. The center's purpose is to improve the practice of journalism, promote interaction between media professionals and the academy, and serve as the outreach arm of the School of Journalism & Mass Communication.
