SUMMARY:Journocoders NYC
DESCRIPTION:Journocoders NYC is a monthly meetup for journalists and others working in the media to learn and share technical skills for use in their reporting. That might be data analysis as part of an investigation\, scraping data from government websites\, building data visualisations to better tell a story\, or something else entirely. \nRSVP HERE  \nFor the second Journocoders NYC\, we’ll be learning how to use open source cartography software QGIS (https://qgis.org/)\, which is used in newsrooms across the country for structuring and making sense of spatial data – i.e.\, making maps. \nBring a laptop as this will be a hands-on\, practical workshop. We’ll be following a tutorial taught at Columbia University (http://pointsunknown.nyc/tutorials/03_PointData.html) that walks through mapping 3-1-1 calls in New York. No programming experience is needed. \nBecause QGIS is a hefty piece of software\, please download ahead of time from https://qgis.org/. If you’re using a Mac\, please note that you need to install multiple items. Simply follow the instructions included in the package and you should be fine. Also\, if you choose to install V3 and you’re on a Mac\, you’ll need to have Python 3.6 running on your machine. Instructions for that process can be found at https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/install3/osx/. If you have any installation questions or problems\, we can help you in the Brown Institute before Journocoders starts. \nMake sure you’re signed up to Dropbox to view our shared doc (https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Journocoders-NYC-July-2018–AJeaIgmG1T__PmGKGpLs12sMAQ-qd4G07Ox1iXIyrBxnXCzd) and add links to anything data or journalism-related you’ve seen or worked on to the “show and tell” section! \nThis event is kindly hosted by the Brown Institute at Columbia Journalism School\, and refreshments are sponsored by The Wall Street Journal. \nSchedule: \n7.00: Doors open\n7.30: Show & tell\n7.40: Tutorial\n9.00: Drinks!
