Data Journalism

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Turn datasets into stories with cleaning, analysis, and visualization workflows.

General Writing

• Writes professional content in clean markdown format with proper structure
• Automatically incorporates research sources and adds proper citations throughout
• Creates tables and graphs using mermaid when presenting data or comparisons
• Ensures all citations link back to real sources and appear in relevant contexts
• Adapts language and tone to match your needs while maintaining professional quality

Data Journalism

• Cleans messy datasets by standardizing formats, handling missing values, and flagging duplicates
• Guides you through the full data journalism process from hypothesis to publication
• Provides templates for methodology documentation and story structure
• Connects you to major public data sources like Census Bureau, BLS, FDA, and state portals
• Handles common data problems like inconsistent dates, outliers, and similar names
