NICAR 2024 Tipsheets & Audio. The NICAR data journalism conference was outstanding this year: ~1100 attendees, and every slot on the schedule had at least 2 sessions that I wanted to attend (and usually a lot more).
If you’re interested in the intersection of data analysis and journalism it really should be a permanent fixture on your calendar, it’s fantastic.
Here’s the official collection of handouts (NICAR calls them tipsheets) and audio recordings from this year’s event. # 11th March 2024, 1:14 am
American Community Survey Data via FTP. I got talking to some people from the US Census at NICAR today and asked them if there was a way to download their data in bulk (in addition to their various APIs)... and there was!
I had heard of the American Community Survey but I hadn’t realized that it’s gathered on a yearly basis, as a 5% sample compared to the full every-ten-years census. It’s only been running for ten years, and there’s around a year long lead time on the survey becoming available. # 8th March 2024, 12:25 am
Weeknotes: Getting ready for NICAR
Next week is NICAR 2024 in Baltimore—the annual data journalism conference hosted by Investigative Reporters and Editors.
