” – Hey! Are you coming to the free seminar on data visualisation for journalists this Thursday?
– Where is it?
– Everywhere! I mean, anywhere you like, it’s broadcast live on the internet at 4pm UK time.
– hell, yeah, I’ll come! Who’s talking?
– Only some big names in data journalism: Xaquín G.V. from The New York Times, Annamarie Cumiskey from the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Mar Cabra of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists – ICIJ, and David Cabo of Pro Bono Público
– Pro Bono Publico? Is that held in Spain then?
– Yep, It’s happening in Madrid at Medialab-Prado, a program of the Department of Arts of the City Council. You should check out their website, they have some really interesting stuff in terms of arts and visualisations.
– Great!
– If you want more information, take a look at the schedule here. The conference will be conducted in Spanish and English and will be translated live.
– That’s gonna be interesting 😉 Will I be able to ask some questions at the end?
– There will be some discussion afterwards but I don’t know whether the online audience will be able to join in. A workgroup on data journalism will also be launched during the event, seeking to bring together professionals interested in data visualisations, from journalists to graphic designers, who will then meet regularly at Medialab-Prado.
– Looking forward to see how it turns out.. Thanks for the info, speak to you on Thursday! You will write something on the Data Journalism Blog about this right?
– Sure! I might just copy and paste this conversation though.. 🙂
– You should! ”
