Dataharvest 2024 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

Can one really create an engaging data story without major data leaks, complex programming skills, or access to confidential sources? Of course!. Potentially big stories are right under our noses. Sometimes all it takes is data from Eurostat, the EU Commission, or a non-profit organization. Combining these sources can lead to unexpected discoveries. In this session, we will share several experiences in which we used easily accessible data to work on stories taking place in a non-transparent regimes such as Lukashenko's in Belarus, and others related to opaque EU regulations.
You don't need any data journalism experience for this session. You can come even if you are just starting to be interested in this area. If you want to participate in research, bring a laptop.
