The Data Journalism Handbook

A unique, crowd-sourced book providing insights to what data-driven journalism is and can be.


The publication of this book is a source of delight and happiness for me. Two years ago we gathered in Amsterdam for the "Data-driven Journalism" round-table. Now this. A book, with input from journalists and practioners all around the world. It is notable that the community that started to form on that day in 2010 is still intact. It's a community you want to be part of: Working hard, friendly, enthusiastic in a good way. 

I wrote two contributions to this book: 

Why Journalists Should Use Data

Business Models for Data Journalism

This book would not be a reality without the extraordinary effort of Liliana Bounegru, Lucy Chambers and Jonathan Gray.
