Data doesn’t have to be intimidating. In this introductory one-hour session, Monica Cordero, an investigative and data reporter with Investigate Midwest, will show how Google Sheets can make it easier to organize information, spot trends and support stronger reporting.
The workshop will cover the building blocks of Google Sheets, including sorting and filtering data, creating simple calculations and cleaning information for analysis. Participants will learn practical techniques they can immediately use to improve their reporting and workflow.
