Keep an ear out for 2SER’s program on data journalism & open data this morning

Bycraigthomler 14 March 2013

Part of a conversation I’ve had with 2SER’s Charmaine Wong about data journalism and the role of open data and Government 2.0 is being broadcast this morning on 2SER between 9:00am and 9:30am as part of a program on data journalism.

You can listen online via the 2SER website (http://www.2ser.com) or via an actual radio if you’re in Sydney.

A podcast of the broadcast will be available from The Fourth Estate (http://www.2ser.com/shows/the-fourth-estate) sometime afterwards, and I’m amend this post with a direct link once it becomes available.

UPDATE: The direct link to listen to this segment is: http://fourthestate.org.au/data-journalism-comes-to-australia/

I’ve updated my tracking of Australian government and council Twitter accounts and found that the roughly 920 accounts I track have sent in total 1.47 million tweets. Given there’s some accounts that have closed down which I no longer count and probably a few more I’ve missed, I’m comfortable that Australian governments have now sent…
