Empirical reporting

Walter Cronkite School of Journalism

This is the website for the data journalism course for the Cronkite school.

For Spring 2020, the classes that are included here are:

  • MCO 510: Data Journalism, for Masters’ of Mass Communication,
  • MCO 510: Data Journalism, for Masters’ of Investigative Journalism

Important updates will be shown on this home page, but be sure to allow for Slack notifications – you’ll hear everything there first.
