Data Journalism: Getting Started

Chicago Headline Club

Did the City of Chicago finally send you that data dump you'd been FOIA'ing (after <A HREF="http://foiaillinois.org/foiafest-2017/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">FOIA Fest 2017</A>) and now you're not sure what to do with it? Is Chicago Public Schools giving you a super-confusing spreadsheet that may as well be in another language? Don't know whether to use a bar graph or scatter plot? 
Here's your chance to finally figure it all out. Join the <A HREF="http://headlineclub.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chicago Headline Club</A> and the data geniuses from <A HREF="https://www.wbez.org/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WBEZ</A> and the <A HREF="http://chicagoreporter.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chicago Reporter</A> to learn a bit of data journo 101, how and where to find your story in the data and how to visualize it with charts, maps and graphs. 
Maybe you've already got a little knowledge and need a boost -- or maybe you're starting at Excel square A-1. This workshop is sure to help you find the questions and the answers.
This event is BYOL: Bring Your Own Laptop.
