Charts, maps, and interactive stories make for some of the most powerful journalistic storytelling today — and all of these forms are built upon data. In this class, students get comfortable finding and using data as part of their reporting process, then learn the design fundamentals and basic statistical methods required to clearly communicate data stories. By the end of the class, students learn how to ask data-driven questions; acquire, analyze and interpret data; and tell compelling and powerful visual stories that can empower audiences.

[Medium] Sometimes a linear, written narrative is not the best way to express the news. Our ability to collect and share large amounts of data has allowed journalists to develop new ways of engaging readers; in an age of information overload, sometimes the best way to tell a story is through data visualization. This is a major component of reimagining journalistic storytelling in the digital age. Knowing when and how to represent data visually is now an integral part of the discipline. Students will learn basic visualization design principles, as well as learn how to acquire, parse and analyze data sets and develop visual narratives.
