Talking about Data Journalim with Daraj Media ⋆ Dr. Nouha Belaid

I had the pleasure on Thursday July 29, 2021 to participate at the webinar organized by Daraj media as part of the « Ama Baad » program, whose topic was « Data journalism and infographics: new essential skills for journalists? « . Have participated in this debate with me, my colleague Amr Eraqi (Founder of Bayanet School).

This debate moderated by Ahmed Esmat (Consultant and journalist) focused on the new challenges of data journalism following the technological evolution experienced. We already agree on the idea that data journalism is not the journalist’s job but requires the presence of other skills.
