Learn about the past, present future of data journalism, its impact on society and what it takes to build and tell a data-driven story with impact. We start with a talk that brings you up to speed and dive into a hands-on exercise to replicate a data journalism story’s key findings. With Cheryl Phillips, Lorry I. Lokey Visiting Professor in Professional Journalism and Director of Big Local News.

Cheryl Phillips has been teaching journalism at Stanford since 2014. Most recently, she founded Big Local News. She also is co-founder of the Stanford Open Policing Project, a cross-departmental effort to collect police interaction data and evaluate racial disparities.
