Dear Wikimedians,
I am working with closely with our Data Journalism course this terms at Boston University. I will be sharing some of my Wikipedia related lessons with them.
Using data to tell stories is a theme of this class. Have you used or know of examples of how people have used Wikipedia or data related to Wikimedia for data journalismhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_journalism?
Thank you in advance for any information you can share.
Sincerely, Laura -- Laura Jenemann Communication, Media, & Film Librarian Boston University 617-353-9240 ljeneman@bu.edumailto:ljeneman@bu.edu
Hi Laura,
have you looked into Wikidata?
There are quite a few examples like https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/the-occupations-of-people-i... or https://www.mysociety.org/2018/10/16/wikidata_and_congress/ or https://janakiev.com/blog/wikidata-mayors/ that go into your direction.

Hi Laura,
João Alexandre Peschanski, who is a professor at the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil has been doing that for some time now. He's been experimenting with Wikidata, as Daniel suggested. He's CCed to this email.
Best, Shani.
