OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan trains Kazakh-speaking journalists on data journalism

The OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan organized a three-day online seminar to train Kazakh-speaking journalists on using data management tools in their work on 28-30 October 2020.

National experts made presentations on working with open-source government data and their processing for media reporting. Presentations also focused on new approaches to big data and data visualization for media production, analysis and advocacy. Participants learned best practices on data-journalism and were able to draft several media articles using the available data.

Some 15 representatives of the data departments from media outlets took part in the event.

The event is part of the Programme Office’s activities aimed at promoting media development and freedom of expression in line with the OSCE principles and commitments.
