23 cool datasets we used in January

Also be sure to check out this week’s content including Monday’s job board update with 400 new journalism jobs and internships, and yesterday’s Inside The Middle East, where we dissected the latest news from the region including how Jared Kushner was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
