Tools, Slides and Links from NICAR13 by Chrys Wu.
The acronyms were new to me: NICAR (National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting), a program of IRE (Investigative Reporters & Editors).
From the post:
NICAR13 brings together some of the sharpest minds and most experienced hands in investigative journalism. Over four days, people share, discuss and teach techniques for hunting leads, gathering data, and presenting stories. Of all the conferences I go to, this one gets the highest marks from attendees for intensive, immediately applicable learning; networking and fun.
…
NICAR 2014 will be in Baltimore from Feb. 27 to March 2. You should be there.
For additional tutorials, videos, presentations and tips see the lists from 2012 and 2011.
A real wealth of material if you are interesting in mining, analyzing and reporting data.
Enjoy!
I first saw this in a tweet by Chrys Wu.
