- One-line project description: jAngels is a visualization of funding for nonprofit news tools (and possibly sites) over the past five years.
Currently Away Engaging in Fathers' Day Related Program Activities
Project name: jAngels: Visualizing Journalism Angel Funding
Your team: Lisa Williams, Erika Owens
Project URL(s), if applicable: None yet Hashtag, if #relevant: #storyhack
What is it? 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: Eric Newton. Corey Ford. Okay, and maybe my mom.
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.
