[ddj] We want ALL data on all European Subsidies!

[Maria Manolova]

Hi Anna and everyone,

I am Maria and I handle data and visualisation projects at the Bulgarian
weekly newspaper Capital (www.capital.bg). We are still in the early stages
of setting up our data journalism operations but are very keen on
developing these skills in our newsroom.

I am very interested in your project, especially as we are already scraping
the Bulgarian EU subsidies database for internal newsroom use, and EU
funding is always a hot topic in Bulgaria.

Please let me know what is needed and what are the next steps.

Kind regards,
Maria
