Spanish Data Journalism Event Planned
Madrid, 24 December 2010
The Spanish open government data advocacy group Pro Bono Publico (for the good of the public, @probp on Twitter) is planning to organize a workshop on data driven journalism on 15 February 2011. Location and program are to be announced, and the date is still tentative, pending feedback from possible interested participants.

Data driven journalism has been a growing field of interest in the past year or so, with various news organizations exploring how large amounts of released government data can be used to make sense of stories, or provide more in-depth background material to news.
