Nice to meet you!
This is something I wrote for my mailing list, The Data Journalism Newsletter. If you like it, sign up here to get emails like these auto-magically in your inbox every Sunday. Enjoy!
A week of deadline stress and firsts
This week tech editor Joost Schellevis and myself worked on a story about websites that use tracking cookies without asking for permission (NL/EN). Our NOS Stories colleagues - who focus on 13 - 18 year olds - made a YouTube video (NL) about it. (image) With a tight deadline, we got to see the good, the bad and the ugly of data journalism - in this case meaning good story, messy data, and a lack of sleep. Anyway, we made it and so it became a week of firsts: the first time a story I worked on opened the eight o'clock news and the first push message.
Working on this production did keep me from reading the data work by others - hence this meta newsletter that does not feature data productions by others. Another first, I guess... :)
