One of the problems of advancing data journalism in Latin America is that many of the tools used in data analysis and visualization are available only in English.

Crucianelli explains why this program and others like it are so important for Spanish speaking journalists.

Knight International Journalism Fellow Hena Cuevas was assigned to report on the Peruvian potato for China Central Television (CCTV). Peru is the birthplace of the potato and home to more than 4,000 species of the tuber.
