Project name: jAngels: Visualizing Journalism Angel Funding
Your team: Lisa Williams, Erika Owens
- Project URL(s)**, if applicable: None yet
- Hashtag, if #relevant:** #storyhack
- JAngels** will take funding data for nonprofit news tools (and perhaps sites) and provide a timeline to show trends in what gets funded.
- Who is it for:** People for whom Knight kremlinology is a major hobby.
- Your goal for this weekend:* I'd like to load the data into a timeline and see what happens.
- Your starting point:** I'm using data I collected myself along with data from J-Lab on journalism funding, and visualizing that with Timeline Setter, a Ruby-based timeline generation tool originally created by the ProPublica data team.
- Current Progress** I've managed to get Timeline Setter up and running. I wrote about the process at my learn-to-code for journalists blog, Life and Code: Yak Shaving, Magical Incantations, and Data Journalism.
