Where can people with Data Journalist skills be found? We're trying to hire what we're calling a Data Editor (similar I believe) where the role is about using our data to tell compelling data-driven stories. It requires the ability to analyze and ask questions of our data (in MS Excel at a minimum) to ultimately develop short data-driven narratives of their findings.<p>While we've found folks who are amazing at the data analysis part or the writing part, never have the two met. Either we're looking for a unicorn or simply not looking in the right places? Any recs on where to look?
Seriously, "wobbing" is now becoming an internationally used term?<p>The word is derived from the acronym WOB, which stands for "Wet Openbaarheid Bestuur", a relatively recent Dutch law that obliges government institutes to make government documents available upon request. This law is systematically being sabotaged by all layers of government, to the point of intimidating people who dare to make such a request.
I think this is a great idea, but the web version of the document is surprisingly difficult to navigate and read. In fact, it's downright unpleasant. I understand why it is available as a hardcopy version through a publisher, but I wonder why the PDF isn't available for web use.
