Some of the media industry's leading "data journalists" have published a crowdsourced handbook for the practice of data-oriented journalism. As many of us know, one of the big areas of focus over the past year has been “big data” — the idea that there can be immense value in sifting out patterns in the massive quantities of user data and other information that many companies generate. Consider, then, the value in finding patterns in the sea of news-related information we are immersed in every day of our lives. This past weekend, at the 2012 International Journalism Festival in Italy, the Data Journalism Handbook was unveiled - a free ebook that could be a useful resource for anyone who works with, and writes about, data. The ebook is free under a Creative Commons license. . Via Jason Morelyle Delete the scoop?
