Dear all this is to announce the birth of a new research lab dedicate to big data methods and data journalism. Please visit us on the web (datajlab.nl) and follow us on Twitter (@datajlab). We are a small yet ambitious project emerging from a MSc in Data Journalism, which is grounded in an applied informatics (or e-humanities) department at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands. Please drop a line to know more (stefania@datajlab.nl) and get in touch for collaboration, projects, suggestions, or any other inquiry. We look forward to hear from you! Stefania, Founding Director, Data J Lab (datajlab.nl)
