Where Is It Happening Here? How Journalism Students Are Learning to Report with Data and Maps
Every good local story starts with a question about place: where is this happening, and who is affected? Journalism programs are teaching students to answer it with data and maps, and academic libraries are helping lead the way. See how schools like CUNY’s Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism are using PolicyMap to help students find neighborhood-level data, test what they notice, and identify the people and places at the heart of their stories. Plus, get story ideas and a ready-to-use classroom assignment.

Data Science Camp Inc.
Each summer, the University of the District of Columbia’s College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability & Environmental Sciences (CAUSES) and Data Science Camp Inc.
