'For Journalism': News Developers Launch A Kickstarter To Raise Money To Teach Data Journalism For All
A new Kickstarter campaign kicked off this weekend with a goal of raising $32,000 to create educational tools for the “next generation of news-application developers.” If they reach their goal, these are the first eight courses they’ll teach:
- Django, taught by Jeremy Bowers of The Washington Post
- Information Management, taught by Christopher Groskopf of NPR
- Ruby on Rails, taught by Jeff Larson of ProPublica
- DevOps, taught by Jacqui Maher of The New York Times
- Charting and Visualization, taught by Michelle Minkoff of The Associated Press
- Responsive Design, taught by Ryan Pitts of The Spokesman Review
- Mapping, taught by Ken Schwenke of The LA Times
- Cybersecurity and Online Privacy, taught by Mike Tigas of The Spokesman Review
It’s a lofty goal and a huge commitment from each instructor, seeing as they each have day jobs at high-profile news organizations.
