Data in the service of the journalists
Šlerka, Josef ; Minařík, Karel ; Skuhrovec, Jiří ; Knitl, Jiří
V posledních letech se stává světovým trendem tzv. datová žurnalistika, neboli využívání pokročilé práce s velkými objemy dat v novinařině. Pomalu si hledá cestu i do českých redakcí, systematická práce s daty je ale zatím spíše záležitostí odvážných pionýrů. Cílem workshopu bylo přiblížit českému publiku základní metody práce datové analýzy. Na konkrétních datech jsme si ukázali širokou škálu postupů: strukturování, čištění, interpretaci a vizualizaci dat.
