storytelling) was released by the Brazilian environmental news agency O
Eco. The handbook hosts a number of tutorials tailored for environmental
topics. They are meant to be an invitation to the environmental
journalism community into the great big world of data journalism and its
many forms and functions. It is now available in English and Portuguese
and was supported by ICFJ, the European Youth Press (Flag It! Program),
and Internews' Earth Journalism Network.
