Transforming Global Journalism with Open Data

Knight International Journalism Fellowship projects are transforming global journalism through the use of data.

Knight Fellows Gustavo Faleiros, Jorge Luis Sierra, Justin Arenstein, Miguel Paz and Mariano Blejman specialize in finding ways to convert raw data into information that's usable by and useful to journalists and citizens.
