January, February 2005 Uplink
Return to Database Library

Here's a glimpse at what the January/February issue has to offer:

An article by Andy Lehren of Dateline NBC showing how the news program used traffic ticket data from cities across the United States, mapping and statistical analysis to uncover disparities in the ways police dealt with blacks and whites.
An article by Ian Demsky and Christian Bottorff of The Tennessean explaining how they used Nashville police data to show that the department had regularly violated its own hot-pursuit rules.
A First Venture by Ron Regan of WEWS-Cleveland that recounts his first CAR story, about dangerous dams in Ohio.
A Tech Tip by MaryJo Sylwester of USA Today that provides guidance on how to pick the right number data format in Microsoft Access.

Uplink is the bimonthly publication of the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting, a joint program of Investigative Reporters & Editors, Inc., and the University of Missouri School of Journalism.
