When you combine the sheer scale and range of digital information now available with a journalist's "nose for news" and her ability to tell a compelling story, a new world of possibility opens up. With The Data Journalism Handbook, you'll explore the potential, limits, and applied uses of this new and fascinating field.

This valuable handbook has attracted scores of contributors since the European Journalism Centre and the Open Knowledge Foundation launched the project at MozFest 2011. Through a collection of tips and techniques from leading journalists, professors, software developers, and data analysts, you'll learn how data can be either the source of data journalism or a tool with which the story is told--or both.

Examine the use of data journalism at the BBC, the Chicago Tribune, the Guardian, and other news organizations
Explore in-depth case studies on elections, riots, school performance, and corruption
Learn how to find data from the Web, through freedom of information laws, and by "crowd sourcing"
Extract information from raw data with tips for working with numbers and statistics and using data visualization
Deliver data through infographics, news apps, open data platforms, and download links

I haven't read this whole book yet. Still so much to learn to fully take in the breadth of what is going on in data journalism. But from the little I've had to read, this book contains a lot of rich wisdom for those willing to dig into the material. That being said, this is no manual for learning how to be a data scientist or a programmer. It does impart knowledge on how the technical, raw data should be gathered and used to tell a complete story. As well as when certain elements of data visualization and interactivity were used effectively or not.

Good for new data users

I'd agree with most of the Dillingham review of this book. I'm a mature student and my dissertation is on use of public data. It wasn't a topic I knew much about (I didn't know it was called data journalism, just to begin with). This books gives you a great flavour of the players (governments and publications), the software, the uses of the data. Also good on being skeptical of the data, how to read data, etc. It's all evolving rapidly, so it's just a snapshot, but I found this book awesomely useful in terms of a lot of info in one place. Wish I'd found it earlier. Very useful for anyone looking at structured data that's available to the public. Really wish there was a hard copy edition. I'd buy one of those too.

Very easy and accessible to download and excellently quick which was great because I needed this book for a Data Journalism paper. I was slightly annoyed at myself when I realised you can access most of the chapters online in a pdf format, but that's not to say the Data Journalism Handbook is worth reading and buying.
