[School-of-data] A call for journalists to enhance global data literacy

[Friedrich Lindenberg]

Hi!

This sounds interesting, two questions:

1) How is being an "Infogram Ambassador" different from doing free
advertising for the company in exchange for a swag bag?

2) How is infogram.org a non-profit if it engages in advertising for its
commercial parent company?

I feel like you're co-opting the language of advocacy for advertising,
which might be doing a disservice to data communities (like School of
Data).

Best wishes,

- Friedrich
