The Data Journalism Handbook How Journalists Can Use Data To Improve News (2012)

Second edition: Towards a Critical Data Practice, edited by Liliana Bounegru and Jonathan Gray (Amsterdam University Press, 2021) Free to read online, and the widest view of how data reporting is done around the world: 54 chapters from 74 contributors. It is a collection of perspectives and case studies rather than a step-by-step course, so it suits a reporter who already knows spreadsheets and wants ideas for where the next data story might come from. Dip into the chapters that match a current project instead of reading cover to cover.
