MOOC – INTRODUCTION TO DATA JOURNALISM
The project MOOC – Introduction to Data Journalism belongs to the Research Line 1 – Media, Culture and Technology.
Synopsis: In Portugal, Data Journalism is still an area worth investing in, both in newsrooms and in the curricula of Communication courses in general, and especially in Journalism programs. Although it is true that journalists have always worked with quantitative data, the volume of data that currently exists in our society requires technical skills to examine them rigorously. This, in turn, enables a better understanding of social, political, and economic issues. It's also essential for effectively communicating this information through a clear and rigorous visual narrative.
To address this gap, we will develop a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) that serves as an introduction to Data Journalism. This MOOC can be beneficial for Communication students, particularly those studying Journalism, as well as for professionals in the field.
