A non-profit media training organisation, iJourno Africa has engaged media practitioners including student journalists in its second edition of the data journalism training.

The exercise took place at the Department of Communication Studies on the University of Ghana on Saturday, July 10 in collaboration with the Legon-based Radio Univers.

Twenty-five applicants were selected to participate in the programme geared towards developing storytelling skills by employing the right data visualisation tools.
