Thanks for sharing these resources, Scott. I was in journalism school in the late 90s/early 200s and took a class called "Internet Journalism." We learned basics on how to search for information online, pre-Google. We were told to do all of our searches on ixquick.com. Later, when I became a city hall reporter, I used to have to trek downtown to city hall to pick up the city council agenda every other week. These days the full agendas are online, including supporting materials, not to mention a wealth of other data from city departments. I have mad respect for journalists who reported pre-Internet days, especially on data-driven stories. It's amazing how far we've come and how much has changed in such a short time.
Thank you, Kristian. You'd be surprised by the lack of collaboration at many organizations. What's clear is that those who do it (and do it well) can see big benefits. Thanks for reading.
