Journalism in the Age of Data from Geoff McGhee on Vimeo.
Journalists are coping with the rising information flood by borrowing data visualization techniques from computer scientists, researchers and artists.

I would have liked to participate and present some experiences in this field. But unfortunately at these dates we are finalising a 2 week course in Stockholm for some 25 students in statistical research for investigative journalism including how to find statistics with social media tools. Hope there will be other opportunities later on! Best regards Alf
