The Data Journalism Handbook (Jonathan Gray, et al)

Anyone who believes they could be interested in working as a data journalist or dabbling in data journalism will find this book to be a beneficial resource.

Where Can I Find Data? is one of the issues addressed in this collaborative publication that was organized by the European Journalism Centre and the Open Knowledge Foundation. How do I make a data request? What equipment may I use? How can I search for stories in data? What can I do to make data journalism enduring?

A new world of possibilities emerges when you combine the scope and variety of digital material that is already accessible with a journalist's "nose for news" and her capacity to craft an engaging story. The Data Journalism Handbook will help you investigate the possibilities, restrictions, and practical applications of this new and fascinating field.
