| 155 | 4129 | Master class: Self-editing & bulletproofing the data **pre-registered attendees only | Data-driven stories can overwhelm a writer juggling data and storytelling and leave even the best editors feeling out of their depth. In this half-day workshop, we’ll focus on the core data editing and bulletproofing skills every journalist should have, whether you are a hands-on data journalist or an editor supervising this work. Two data journalists, Atlanta Journal Constitution’s deputy managing editor Shawn McIntosh and Washington Post investigative reporter Kimbriell Kelly, will share lessons they have learned writing and presenting data-driven stories. You will receive tips and strategies from an editor's and reporter's point of view, including: Common data errors -- How to spot and fix them Using a data diary to track your methodology Practical strategies for bulletproofing and fact-checking your data analysis and findings Going beyond numbers -- Using data to find human sources and characters for stories Untangling the writing and avoiding reader turnoffs Managing up -- Working with an editor who doesn’t speak data Managing the numbers as deadline approaches Whether you want to get better at editing yourself or others, we’ll have tips and resources for you.
