What’s happening in the world?
USA
UK
Also across the Ocean
Show successful cases Articules and News Apps
Message in a bottle
Then… Are these experiences replicable in underdeveloped countries, where the boundary conditions are different?
What are doing in other countries in the region?
Show impact in LN (Costa Rica)
Also in O Estado (Brazil)
Reporters needs to be friendly with maths and stats
¿How many people are there?
It’s not all about numbers! It’s about variables

Also…we need tools in spanish!
Blog about “How to…” in spanish (be launched in late March)
I saw that it was opening a gap…
Is data journalism for a all? Can everyone use the same model?
Or each one can design their own model to do DJ?
I had no answers
I needed a plan of action…
Work Plan
Fase 1
Diagnosis LN first 3 weeks of the Fellow
Fase 2
Meeting to schedule blog posts shared Google Docs
Increased visibility in the Front Page of digital LN (Propose create a Data Channel)
Define where Data Journalism articules will be publish
Blog: rethinking content based public hearing and publishing style
Fase 3
Reporters List for Training
Involve editors and create the position of a coordinator of the team to share meetings with them
Design an intensive training for all the persons involved in the project
Meeting with reporters invidual to start training and consulting
Fase 4
Create Interactive Map Tool Database = about local initiatives in access to public information
Create Interactive Map Tool = Official Gazettes by Province = may be the same map?
Design News Apps = starting open data (Census Proyect) and DDJJ
Fase 5
Good Practices: Interactive Data Viz + share documents using Document Cloud + URLs + Excels
Fase 6
Engage the people: promote debate about open data; write about open data and open Gov.
Create Nation Facebook page Data + strategy for Twitter and invite audience
Talk with NGOs (FOPEA)

Also in Salta Province, near Jujuy
In Misiones Provinces, border with Paraguay and Brazil
