Una de sus primeras acciones fue el curso virtual “Cobertura periodística de la migración y el refugio venezolano”, dirigido a periodistas de Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador y Perú. Durante tres meses, 62 profesionales se formaron en nuevas tendencias del periodismo de investigación y en el uso de herramientas digitales aplicadas a la cobertura de los procesos migratorios con una perspectiva de derechos humanos. La presente guía reúne los contenidos elaborados por los docentes de este curso a los que se suma un completo glosario de términos imprescindibles para poder contar los procesos migratorios con calidad y precisión."

standing of issues without losing sight of ethical or safety considerations. The aim is to help people develop the ability to question information that they suspect is false, find information when it is scarce and filter information when it becomes overwhelming. Here you can explore tools to access websites that have been removed from the internet, content that does not appear in search engines or data from videos and images that would otherwise remain invisible. You will discover ideas on how to approach investigations into companies and public funds or to find out how products you use and consume were made, and what abuses might have happened along the way. You can figure out how to use maps to investigate places and events, or how to prepare for field research. You will get tips about talking to people and observing places, assessing risks, collecting and using information safely and ethically, and making sure that you and others involved can stay out of harm’s way. You will also see how to approach data from unexpected entry points or discover information resources and tools you didn’t know about." (What is this kit, page 3)

themselves from other popular channels of news distribution such as WhatsApp and Instagram. According to a recent study on the state of journalism in Tanzania, there is a high quantity of reporting on events, many articles with single sources and few articles putting stories into context (Spurk and Katunzi 2018). Media houses and journalists continually express an interest in growing data journalism capabilities. However, the successful forms of diffusing data in newsrooms and determining relevant content management systems for Tanzanian audiences remain uncertain." (Executive summary, page 4-5)

By demonstrating an interest in data journalism across countries including Chile, Argentina, the Philippines, South Africa and Iran, among others, this volume contributes to multifaceted transnational debates on journalism, and is a crucial reference text for anyone interested in data journalism in the 'developing' world. Drawing on a range of voices from different fields and nations, sharing empirical and theoretical experiences, the volume aims to initiate a global dialogue among journalism practitioners, researchers and students."

over two hundred data journalism modules and programs being taught in journalism schools all over the world. These programs are set to prepare journalists for the next wave of analytical and accountability-driven journalism. For the average global citizen, more and more of our everyday lives are impacted by computers and data. In order to hold power to account, journalists should be empowered with the skills and tools to make sense of this data. By working through real case studies within Al Jazeera, we hope to provide readers with a concise and practical introduction to data journalism as seen through the lens of an Arab audience. This guidebook will move beyond the technical details and rather focus on helping you think critically and creatively about telling human stories hidden within data." (Introduction)

e best opportunities for developing drone journalism are in those countries that respect human rights, freedom of the press, and the right to obtain information. There are certainly a great many countries that bear little or no such respect, and also those where legal scholarship, as well as initial practical cases on this subject, are still developing. The ethical codes are also still under construction. The basics of journalism ethics are, indeed, very valid when practicing drone journalism. In addition, the discussion of drone journalism ethics has so far mainly focused on safety and privacy issues, with more analysis needed of the ways in which background information and context can be included by reporters using drones."
