Data Sites Round-up for the Data Junkie Or Data... Data... Get your Data here...!

Martha Rotter's Blog - Tuesday Newsday: Data News Sites

"Data journ­al­ism, news apps, open gov­ern­ment data. In this age of Anonym­ous, Wikileaks, and pro­act­ive sources pub­lish­ing freely avail­able data, it is becom­ing crit­ical that we have journ­al­ists and developers work­ing together to make sense of it all and under­stand how it affects us.

Today there are a grow­ing num­ber of news out­lets doing a fant­astic job of both pub­lish­ing data and cre­at­ing inter­ac­tions and visu­al­iz­a­tions to make sense of it. I wanted to show­case a hand­ful of those sites so that people can under­stand why this type of journ­al­ism is import­ant and how it works. And maybe even how to get involved if it’s of interest to you.
