Spanish-speaking journalists worldwide can participate in this online course.

After the success of its first three Massive Open and Online Courses (MOOCs), the Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas will offer a fourth course, "Introduction to Data Journalism," with journalist Sandra Crucianelli, an expert in the field.

The six-week course will be free of cost and will take place May 8 - June 16. Just like the Knight Center's two previous MOOCs, the course will be open to anyone in the world with an Internet connection.

“Introduction for Data Journalism" will cover the basic concepts of data journalism, an overview of the current state of the practice around the world, new digital tools for searching and data mining, an introduction to math and statistics for journalists, visual information handling techniques, and best practices in the development of news apps.

Although the course will be free, participants who would like to receive a certificate must pay a US$30 administrative fee.
