Lernergebnisse und erworbene KompetenzenBy the end of this course, students are able to craft data-driven news articles by collecting, analyzing, and visualizing real-world data using R. They have  learned to extract and interpret meaningful, newsworthy insights from datasets such as those from the German Federal Statistical Office and the United Nations Statistics Division. Students have developed the ability to interpret descriptive and statistical analyses in a non-technical manner and effectively communicate their findings to the public. They also gained hands-on experience in building interactive dashboards (e.g., via R Shiny) to facilitate discussion and engagement with both their peers and the public. Beyond technical skills, the course enabled students to critically examine social, economic, and political issues from a quantitative and computational perspective. Finally, students have refined their journalistic writing skills, learning how to convey complex data-driven narratives in a clear and compelling way.
InhaltThis course introduces students to the principles and practices of data journalism, emphasizing the role of data in storytelling and investigative reporting. Students will learn how to source, clean, and analyze datasets to create news reports. They will also acquire skills in data visualization to effectively present their findings.

As part of the course, students will produce a report that combines their data analysis, visualizations, and written insights. Students will also defend their work in an oral examination, demonstrating their ability to communicate complex findings. By the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of work showcasing their ability to use data to tell stories.
