Digital Humanities & Data Journalism Symposium

Posted August 18, 2016

This fall, the University of Miami will host the first symposium focusing on the intersection of digital humanities and data journalism research. Academics and journalists share common interests and questions about obtaining and visualizing data, the ethics involved in data research, and the work of communicating the results of research to the public effectively.
