Introduction

News organisations big and small, around the world, are using data journalism and visualisation techniques to tell stories in new ways that engage audiences.

Data journalism has moved from spreadsheets and databases to interactive visualisations and now to new forms of visual journalism that combine video and data into compelling stories.

This workshop will enable and empower the participants to think with a wider, convergent thought process, making use of print as well as digital, thereby making more business sense for the management by spawning new revenue streams, and providing a higher degree of user experience to the end users (readers).
