23 cool datasets we used in January
Hello folks! Just a quick one today, and yes I know it’s February already and I will do a better job of collating and sending everything we use in a given month, the same month we actually use them. Until then, enjoy 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.
