An open access Portuguese translation of The Data Journalism Handbook: Towards A Critical Data Practice was launched last night at Coda.Br 21 in Brazil. 🎊

To mark the launch we had a panel with co-editor Liliana Bounegru (King’s College London), Natália Mazotte (Insper) and Cédric Lombion (Open Knowledge Foundation) in which we discussed:

• changes in the field (including not taking data for granted, making data and investigating platforms and algorithms)
• how to tell stories which affirm uncertainty and provisionality in relation to data (without fuelling denial or undermining trust)
• how we relate to data (including indigenous data practices, Mona Chalabi‘s drawing with data, relational perspectives on data)
• how data journalists may respond to misinformation and disinformation, including not just fighting misleading claims with facts, but also by exploring how different kinds of claims circulate/resonate, and why
• how data journalists may work with and centre communities of the affected and stay with their stories, issues, troubles, frictions
