YOUR FUTURE CAREER

Data journalism, which was once considered a fringe experiment, is now an essential part of the news process. In the first 18 months of the BBC Shared Data Unit, for example, it assisted in the generation of over 600 stories across more than 250 titles in the regional press.

Data journalism is an essential component of the newsroom. But it goes beyond that as well. Data handling has become an essential part of any job, from banking to business and charity. As organisations, governments, and businesses recognise the power of giving the public access to find insights into public data, they role of the data journalist grows.

According to David Ottewell, the head of Trinity Mirror's data unit, "a journalist without data skills is handicapping themselves."
