Stanford's data journalism program advances the storytelling form

In an increasingly digital world, information can be expressed in incredible ways. That is a key lesson students learn quickly in the Stanford Journalism Program, a graduate-level field of study that involves analyzing data – lots of data – and crafting stories that make a difference in people’s lives.

By analyzing and filtering large data sets, Stanford students and faculty are diving deeper into issues than technology has ever allowed. But while numbers may be the catalyst, the students recognize that they are just the start of what resonates in hearts and minds.
