Data journalism academy sets to work

Journalist Raymond Joseph addresses some of the first fellows at the data journalism academy
The doors opened, and the first Fellows came along. The data journalism academy at Code 4 South Africa is now up and running.

Day one saw participants explore some of the data tools available including the impressive Wazimap which takes census data to a new level and provides journalists with embeddable graphics as well as new insights into geographies and demographics.

Likewise, People’s Assembly which allows for in-depth connections to data about elected representatives.

The activity at the Academy is now also being detailed via social media with a dedicated Twitter stream
@Code4SAJourn and on the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/code4sajourn.
