Journalists must help audiences understand why the upcoming summit of world leaders in Glasgow is one of the most important diplomatic meetings in history. How can the magnitude of COP26 be effectively communicated by journalists to their audiences? How can journalists tell their story with clarity and engagement?
Data journalism is a valuable tool in providing a vast array of resources. Join faculty member Jonathan Stoneman to explore how journalists can effectively select the right data and present it in a visual and engaging way when covering stories around climate change and sustainability.
This free online learning session will help bring journalists up to speed by explaining where to find interesting data to understand the COP26 issues, how to use data to illustrate stories and share a few finalized animations and visualizations.
