Course Overview

Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when data journalism and visualisation is mishandled. Journalists covering journalism and visualisation are working to a deadline you do not control. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this aspect of communications and media practice is rarely technical. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on data journalism and visualisation and revise it on evidence. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the practice within communications and media practice so that teams can disagree productively about it. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in journalism and visualisation rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Improvement in data journalism and visualisation stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It is designed for mixed groups, so that journalism and visualisation is examined from more than one functional angle. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the communications and media practice capability sustainable.
