JU2602 Data journalism and visualization

This page contain Python code and Jupyter Notebooks for the course JU2602 Data journalism and visualization, part of the master programme in investigative journalism at JMG, Sweden.

The goal is to learn the basics of programming in general and Python in particular. No previous programming knowledge is required. The goal is to build a news robot that can scrape the web and automatically write a news article.

Please bring your computer!

Contact Peter M. Dahlgren if you have any questions.

Overview

Overview of what we’ll do, apart from the lectures:

  1. Install Anaconda (choose Python version 3+) that contains Python and Jupyter Notebooks.
  2. Get familiar with Jupyter Notebooks.
  3. Do the exercises.
  4. Learn to control program flow with if-statements and for-loops.
  5. Write fuctions with def that group code into reusable blocks.
  6. End with some bigger web scraping projects: e.g., news robot.

Exercises

Exercise Goal
Exercise 1: Variables Create, change and combine variables.
Exercise 2: Strings Manipulate text strings.
Exercise 3: If-statements Control program flow with if, elif and else.
Exercise 4: For-loops Use for-loops to control how lists are presented on the screen.
Exercise 5: Functions (def) Create functions that take input, change the input, and then return some new value.
Exercise 6: Error handling Understand common error messages, and how to solve them.
