[ddj] Potential interview partners, content ideas for DataDrivenJournalism.net

[Paula Freitas]

Hi Mirko,

I loved your suggestions! As a beginner, I do spend lots of time trying to
figure it out what are the tools available and what's for. I haven't seen
anything yet that guide newbies like me in a "all-in-one-place". The
interview that you suggested seems perfect for this! I would certainly read
and bookmark it! :D

Cheers,
Paula

> The thorny thing with all the tools is that beginners in this wide field
> currently have to spent considerable time to find the tools that suit them.
> So, in short, Sharon might have a good view how anyone could approach this
> wide field, what are quality indicators for certain tools and - potentially
> very important - could differentiate between beginner, advanced and experts
> level tools. Plus, she could add how the trend to data-journalism might be
> reframed in other domains.

> My guess is that Sharon is on this list, so creating a contact might be

> Same kind of interview could be done with the guys from
> datavisualization.ch, who are curating the great selection for common
> tools. Which is best? Which is good for what purpose?

> Spreading that kind of knowledge could be helpful at this moment, at least
> that is my guess.
> I am posting this suggestion here, so maybe others chime in an point to
