Welcome to our guide to open data for hyperlocal journalists.
As part of Cardiff University’s “Hack the Local” hackathon, we’ve built a guide to open data for hyperlocal journalists.
If you don’t know what open data is, read our guide for a basic outline. Once you’re ready to take a look, browse some sources of open data and get inspired.
Open data can generate news for local sites or provide information for stories you’re already writing.
There are pitfalls and caveats that you must consider but we’ll do our best to point them out for you.
