ABSTRACT
The introduction defines data journalism, briefly traces its history and offers examples of the craft. It outlines the skills covered in the rest of the book and explains our approach: Readers will learn data journalism by working with real-world data – datasets that are updated regularly by government agencies and other authoritative sources. Moreover, the book covers not just how to crunch numbers but also how to put a human face to data, resulting in compelling news stories based on solid analysis.
