I’m gearing up to teach a fall course involving data journalism (it’s a hybrid/mutation of my previous information graphics course), and I’m consuming all information I can find. I’ll be using the new DDJ text, and I know Excel spreadsheets pretty well, but I’m a bit at sea with more complex apps. Fusion tables looks tremendous (and accessible).

Have you seen any of the work done with NodeXL? I was just introduced to it at AEJMC this year and thought it provided some interesting social science research opportunities (pity it’s PC-only, though – I can run an emulator, but it’s a pain). Anyway, thanks again for this great synthesis of what’s out there.
