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.

Using European Data in Journalism
Barr, Caelainn
The European Union is awash with numbers. Data about how european citizens live and our taxes are spent are widely available - the challenge lies in using them. Figures are published on a centralised, national and regional basis with little in common. Data formats, presentation and quality vary greatly. How can we use this information as citizens and journalists to understand the union and generate stories? Why should journalists and developers work together to look at European data? Using practical and live examples of data use including commission expenses and structural funds we will demonstrate how to get EU data, how to prepare it for analysis, the trends to look out for and how to translate it into a story.

Why data journalism is something you too should care about

This talk will address questions like: What is the potential of data journalism? Why is it relevant to society? Why is data journalism not just about reporting and news organisations and why should you care about it?
