About This Course
Every day, 65 billion WhatsApp messages are sent, around 40 million trees are cut down and 360,000 babies are born around the world.
On their own, these are just numbers, single snapshots of the world around us right now. But if you look a little deeper, each number contains many stories, and many interpretations, stories that impact you, your family, your community and the world.
My name is Mohammed Haddad and I’m Al Jazeera’s Data Journalism Editor. In this course, a practical guide to Data Journalism, I’ll be introducing you to a flourishing field of journalism that transforms data into stories.
