Interviews can give the best of stories according to Ben Casselman remarks. Being an economic journalist, he prefers to use programming, referred to as Rand Works. The program has a vast data set. Ben Casselman regrets to have said that he was operating a hot short rig that has multi-core processors, which has boatload made of Ram. A laptop is all he needs as it suffices his work of economic reporting. The financial reporter elaborates that all of New York reporters prefer to use technology in their jobs.
By making data that has complications on its sets, one can still distill them in the form of stories that readers can use. There are some sets of tools that come after the said madness and he refers to this part as tough. However, it has fair implications considering my working desk. With this, you can find out how spreadsheets, monitors and charts in my computer, or tabs work. This is why insane people might take this as reasonable. For example, my cluttered desktop contains notebooks that are halfway used. The TI-86 calculator that helped me do my calculus at college is still helpful.
Ben Casselman remarks that besides, a lot of his essential piece of tech, which is seen on his working table, is a landline phone. Most people think that starring at working sheets can create a story. Nevertheless, such ideas are having a wrong thought about what data journalism is. Good stories come from listening to people despite coming from the normal social class. However, such a case is affected by what we want to report in today’s world of multiple sources of information. They give out questions that data is able to answer and can describe those trends that data may need to reveal. Also, it can give wrinkles with nuances that information works.
My best story of previous years, I wrote it with my workmate at Connor Dougherty. It talks about a single-family that had decided to invest in buying a home. This made us access a lot of data that had millions of transactions done by real estate owners and clients. This clearly showed that there is dominance in how the real estate market is for anyone who needs to own a home in the different cities. After zooming the said house, it made the story enjoyable to our target audience. Thus, I was able to talk to those who had opened it and managed to get their interesting story.
