Data journalism needn't be solely based on existing data sets. In fact there is a great case for making your own data. The process encompasses a lot of the vital skills of data journalism - thinking structurally, planned storytelling and finding data in creative ways.

Using the cross-border investigation “Fueling War” as an example, this two-part workshop provides a step-by-step guide to building your own data set and a framework to set up a cross-border team of investigative reporters, data journalists and visual storytellers.

In Session 2, we invited attendees to share their data set and how they acquired it. What tools and techniques were used in the process, or who did they have to ask to access the data? What do the data say and not say? Sotiris will offer feedback, ideas, and encouragement to attendees to seriously consider creating their own data.
