New podcast: what is data journalism today?

Data analysis is at an inflection point, with new technologies entering the field, and increasingly more practitioners working outside of journalism. This episode, Alberto, Scott and myself reflect on how we got into data journalism, and what’s changed over the years. We discuss how each of our career paths took us into newsrooms — and then out of them again — and identify key takeaways for those looking to get into data visualization today.
