What will I learn?
You will learn how to locate and evaluate data sources, file public-records requests, and scrape information from the web. You will clean and verify datasets using spreadsheet tools and SQL, then apply statistical thinking to avoid common errors that mislead audiences. The course covers data visualisation principles, chart design, and geographic mapping for both digital and print publication. You will also explore Python for automating analysis, text extraction from PDFs, and ethical and legal frameworks specific to data reporting. By the end, you will produce a complete, fact-checked, data-driven story ready for publication.
