As numerical data becomes a more important part of the investigative process, we as journalists need a thorough understanding of where to get it and what it means. Whether you're canvassing a data set for story ideas or smoking guns, Part I will develop your ability to clean data and process it enough to give up its secrets. This course is taught in Excel and will begin at a basic introductory level - no experience required.

Organized by
At New York University, we believe that journalism has a serious public mission, and can make a difference in the world. We want to educate those who agree. Opportunities abound in the media world, but the opportunity to do compelling work that informs, engages, and matters to the societies in which we live—this is what drives our faculty, motivates our students, and shapes our basic approach.
