fyi: latinamerican data journalism handbook

[Miguel Paz]

Hi everyone

This is an open invitation to anyone in Open News with the skills to
participate in this collaborative project (all of you :).

The Iberoamerican Data Journalism Handbook (Manual de Periodismo de Datos
Iberoamericano) will be written in our own languages (spanish, portuguese)
by volunteer journalists, developers and designers from Mexico to Patagonia
and Spain, with the mission of showing the state of data journalism in
Iberoamerica, explaining how to do data journalism in our countries,
improving our networks of communication, helping our community accelerate
its learning and providing it with the tools to do better journalism.

It will include:

The best parts of the original Data Journalism Handbook and other manuals
licensed under Creative Commons 3.0. Unported. Guides and tutorials on
subjects such as databases, deep Web research, data mining and scraping,
data visualization and mapping, open data, access to public information and
cyber security, among other topics. The best tools, examples and open
source code projects. Country reports on: 1. Data Journalism (who does data
journalism in each country, which are the notable cases, etc) 2. Existence
and quality of press laws, information and transparency (is there any, do
they work, what does not work, how to address these issues by country). 3.
Open data and open data government policies.

You are more than wellcome to participate!
