During a beta release at #NICAR23, we gathered feedback, ideas and inspiration from a focus group of reporters interested in covering money in politics.

In the time since we addressed those issues by overhauling the site via our GitHub code-repository.

Thanks to the Global Investigative Journalism Network for highlighting our Open Source Fellow's presentation at #NICAR23 about how Add-Ons are helping to address the needs of our users! https://gijn.org/2023/04/10/data-journalism-tools-documentcloud-extract-redacted-text-personal-information/

Har fortfarande inte haft tid att gå igenom anteckningar och tip sheets från #nicar23. MÅSTE ta mig den tiden snart. För rätt värdelöst att åka långt bort på konferens om man inte lyckas använda det man lär sig innan man glömmer bort det... Och det var mycket bra grejer.

Fyra dagars konferens är över och jag är lite slut men också fullproppad med ny info, nya idéer och verktyg. Finns inget som slår NICAR när det gäller #datajournalistik. #nicar23 #ddj

Good morning, #NICAR23. Before I catch my flight home, I'll be hacking at the high tables in the hotel lobby.

We've got a pile a tickets from yesterday's launch party. Come by and help me close 'em. Or just hang. https://twitter.com/palewire/status/1632132828363374592

Great to see the @newmarkjschool family of alums, students and faculty getting together at #NICAR23 . Keep representing us well, my friends!

The First Visual Notebook half-day session by @palewire at #nicar23 was super useful. I have so many ideas of how we could use a similar setup at @dagensarbete.

I'm updating the Journalist's Toolbox with several resources from the #NICAR23 conference. Check out the homepage and what's new page

https://www.journaliststoolbox.org/

Up to 15 resources so far on topics like #rstats, #javascript, #python, command line, and regular expressions from the #nicar23 data journalism conference.
Links to slides, tip sheets, GitHub repos: https://www.machlis.com/nicar/

Looking for some NICAR history? Christine Zhang collected program covers (from when the conference still had programs) here: https://underthecurve.github.io/nicar/ #NICAR23

Okay #NICAR23. It’s me, the girl who has been wearing a cowboy hat.

I’m doing this to win a bet. Help me out: if you see me, let’s have a conversation about anything.

Do I have to close out our conversation with a weird phrase? Yes. But, I’m a joy to talk to. Ask my mom. (She’d say yes.)
