Sixth Data Journalism Session: Aims and Successes of Data Journalism in Europe

14.06.2012 17:30h - 20:30h

Place: Medialab-Prado en Intermediae Matadero Madrid (Paseo de la Chopera, 14 Madrid)

Sixth session of the Data Journalism work group.

Data journalism is widespread in the rest of the European Union. For the group's sixth session, we are bringing leaders in this field from other European countries. An Irish man whose passion is making data requests, an Italian woman who "scrapes" the Web to get data, and a Swedish woman who made history in her country about electoral projects and abuse of the elderly. We have already seen the obstacles and problems to be found in Spain and the view of the media on the future of this topic in what they have written. The time has come to find out how these matters have been overcome in other countries where this discipline is more developed.  [live streaming]
