Ddj data science_day
This document discusses the relationship between journalism and open data/approaches. It argues that combining journalism and open data can lead to great results for several reasons: 1) open data is already publicly available; 2) journalists can improve existing open data; 3) journalists are well-positioned to collect some data that governments have not; and 4) open data resources may be better than closed alternatives. The document promotes tools and resources for journalists working with open data, such as the Data-Driven Journalism Handbook.
