One of the most desirable skills in the job market for data and multimedia journalists is the ability to make maps. The class will begin with mapping basics and then introduce tools to find and show geographical patterns. Students will leave the course with templates they can reuse to make publishable static and interactive maps that are mobile and social friendly. This class is for beginners and more advanced students. Those comfortable with coding will have the opportunity to participate in an optional extra session on mapping with R.
