Dataharvest 2024 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

How do you use data to tell the story about changing living conditions in your city? The local newspaper iTromsø won a Norwegian datajournalism award for their revelations about increasing social and economic differences in the city of Tromsø. The journalists combined data about income, property, poverty and more, to make a demographic journey into unknown parts of the city. Their presentation of the data included making a virtual bus tour and a quiz about Tromsø, so their readers could explore the changing neighbourhoods. They also published a lot of personal stories. In this session, data editor Rune Ytreberg will reveal the tools, methods and data the journalists used in this urban investigation – and hopefully inspire you to do similar stories where you live.
