Storytelling with data: my awkward data journalism adventure
In this lecture, I will tell you my accidental venture into the business of data journalism. From a behind-the-scene look at technical details of some projects, I am going to share what I have learned and what I have been criticise for during my adventitious journey.

Venue: Lecture Theatre LT-13, Yeung Kin Man Acad Building (AC1), City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon Tong.
