Diving into Data Workshop 2018
New York University • June 22-25, 2018
On the education beat, numbers are everywhere. A WAMU public radio reporter’s close examination of data revealed inflated graduation rates. Data drove a powerful series in The Baltimore Sun about the struggle to move past segregated schools. Reporters across the country are tracking gun violence and other violent incidents on school or college campuses.
Covering education means covering data. And whether spreadsheets make you queasy or make your heart flutter, EWA’s 2018 Diving Into Data Workshop can help you boost your data journalism skills — or start developing them.
