Journalists are invited to apply for a three-day data journalism workshop offered by Transparency International to master the skills and tools that lead to new story angles and richer multimedia storytelling in the digital media age.
Journalists, graphic designers and developers will come together to find public-interest angles in government, non-government and private sector data, analyze financial reports to evaluate economic growth in Excel, and visualize progress towards development indicators with Google Charts.
The workshop marks an important step towards a more advanced, data-driven media sector in Sri Lanka that facilitates greater governmental transparency and accountability.
The training will be held in Colombo from 24th to 26th June. The interested journalists should send brief note on their working responsibilities along with curriculum vitae to Transparency International Sri Lanka no. 183/5, High level Road, and Colombo 06. Can submit required documents to akila@tisrilanka.org
