Join our entry-level online course on data journalism: you’ll learn the basics on how to collect, clean, analyse, and communicate data. The course can be joined on a rolling basis and it is made of four self-paced modules coming with exercises, plus a few live learning cafés and webinars. Students are then mentored in order to develop a pitch for a data-driven story of their own, which may actually be produced and published in collaboration with one or more EDJNet members. The course is in English.
The course is run by Dataninja for EDJNet, more information here.
