Datapocalypse! Are we losing our public data?
from The Data Journalism Podcast Hosted by Alberto Cairo, Simon Rogers & Scott Klein
Cheryl Phillips is Hearst Professional in Residence at Stanford University’s journalism program, and founder of Big Local News, which empowers journalists with data – and has twice been on Pulitzer prize winning news teams. Now she has devoted herself to empowering journalists with access to the data they need to tell great stories. She joins Alberto, Scott and Simon to discuss the state of public data in the US in 2025, and what her team is doing about it. The music this episode, made with TwoTone, represents the Dow Jones Industrial Index in the week before we recorded this podcast. See if you can guess what happens to it at the end.
