I’m speaking to a journalism class at the University of Tennessee this morning about:
- Computer-Assisted Reporting
- Computational Journalism
- Open Government Data Advocacy efforts
I thought I might pass along the link set I created around what I plan to talk about. This is designed as a sampler, not an exhaustive list, but I would appreciate any feedback you might have on it.
