Reproducible Data Journalism Workshop

Reproducible Data Journalism without Coding

A workshop at Columbia Journalism School, Nov 8 2018

Workshop materials

Example workflows we'll be building:

• Word cloud of most popular retweets

• 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.
