JRNL 083 - Data Journalism

Semester Hours: 3

Periodically

We are immersed in a world of data – big and small – from polls, budgets, and census reports to personal finance, fitness trackers, and social media. Journalists need to know how to find stories in data and shape them into compelling narratives. This course teaches students to gather, analyze, and visualize interactive data-driven stories from databases and open records while examining the ethical and legal issues in the process.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
JRNL 013  or permission of instructor. May not be taken on a Pass/D+/D/Fail basis. Lab fees additional.
