Reproducible Data Journalism Workshop
A workshop at Columbia Journalism School, Nov 8 2018
Example workflows we'll be building:
-
Campaign finance cleaning. This also demonstrates using spreadsheet formulas in Workbench. You can start with this workflow with the data already uploaded, or get it raw here
-
Scrape earthquakes from a page of historic events. If you like you can start with the scraper filled out here.
If you want to scrape you will definitely want to check out Selector Gadget, which will write the appropriate xpath for you.
For general instructions, see the Workbench Knowledge Base.
Data cleaning: See several examples from Amanda Hickman's data course at Berkeley.
