Business Problem

Traditional journalism relies almost exclusively on qualitative data, analysis and textual communication. The IAJ's objective is to search the full range of academic disciplines for data and analytic -- and communications -- tools and methods that are usually ignored by journalism educators and professionals. The institute then works to educate the profession on how it might use these methods.

Technology Implemented

Web sites, teleconferences, lectures and training workshops
