About the project

The EJC’s data-driven journalism initiative is aimed at enabling more journalists to use data-sets as a source for reporting by providing them with the necessary skills, techniques and tools, according to their level of expertise. This website is dedicated to providing anyone interested in getting started with data driven journalism with a collection of learning resources, including relevant events, tools, tutorials, interviews and case studies.
The data journalism community and mailing list are dedicated to strengthening the community of journalists, designers, data providers and others, and encourage collaboration and the exchange of knowledge and expertise with one another.

This intiative receives partial funding from the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.

Join the mailinglist

Join the EJC/OKF open data and data-driven journalism mailing list which aims to enable discussions and encourage collaboration between the community of open data experts and the community of journalists interested in working with publicly available data.
