Create a data recipe for our R data journalism course #6

Closed HeidiSeibold closed 6 years ago

HeidiSeibold commented 6 years ago

Data recipes are like recipes for simple but delicious dishes: You have a step by step guide, which you need to follow and the end result is really good :shallow_pan_of_food: :cake: :smile:

We have a template and one (unfinished) data recipe with export data from switzerland. You can look at those for help.

You can get more help by commenting on this issue or writing an email to heidi@schoolofdata.ch

Our CONTRIBUTING info might also be of use.

We're excited to hear from you :tada: :clap:

I think the steps here are:

  1. Find an interesting story for journalists based on a dataset. Note: The dataset should be publicly available data. Datasets containing personal information will not be accepted.
  2. Clone to the repo or simply copy the Rmarkdown file
  3. Following the data pipeline described in the template, create your recipe with: one section of your recipe = one section of the data pipeline. Note: the recipe should be self-contained: readers should not have to look up external material to complete it.
  4. Create a pull request on Github in order for your recipe to be reviewed and added to the list. Alternatively, send an email to heidi [at] schoolofdata [dot] ch
