Description

Mapping with QGIS – Class 2

Understanding geo-referenced data can be crucial for data-driven investigative reporting. A lot of data contains geo-information - and analyzing this data can open up opportunities for new and better stories.

This workshop is the second part of this hands-on beginner's guide for journalists who are interested in working with geo-data and the relevant software - notably QGIS (a free and open-source Geographic information system).

This workshop will pick up where QGIS Class 1 left off and will go into more detail (Open Street Map, CRSs etc.)

Important Advisory: Hands-on classes are limited to 30 seats. Please sign up only if you are serious about taking the class. Signing up does not ensure you will get in. The first 20 attendees will get in and be able to use the conference laptops, which are PCs pre-loaded with software and data. The next 10 attendees will need their own laptops and software noted in the course description. If you see online that a class already has 30 sign-ups do not hesitate to still sign up, as seats often open up. We will try to repeat popular classes later in the conference. Thanks for your understanding.
