Data Journalism in Election Integrity
Free webinar brought to you by the Center for Journalism Excellence and the PNA Foundation.
Elections generate enormous amounts of structured and unstructured data-voter rolls, precinct results, turnout patterns, campaign finance disclosures, and misinformation trends. Data journalists help the public understand what’s real, what’s misleading and what’s missing. In an era of distrust, transparency backed by verifiable data is one of the strongest tools for public confidence. Data journalism is necessary as we shift from anecdotal reporting to evidence-based reporting. We’ll review the key skills for journalists for data acquisition, data cleaning & verification, and analysis techniques to investigate election integrity without amplifying misinformation.
Presenters:
Carter Walker, VoteBeat
Mike Wereschagin, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
This one-hour virtual session is scheduled for Monday, September 14, at noon.
