On Friday, May 19, IPI invites you to attend the Google News Lab workshop, part of the IPI World Congress in Hamburg. This two-hour session will equip you with practical research tips, case studies and examples from across Europe. We’ll point to data journalism tools that can help you research and visualise your ideas, including a deep dive on how Google Trends can compliment your storytelling. From a breaking news situation to a feature-length article, learn how Google Maps and Earth Pro images can complement social media posts or add a visual element to your articles. You’ll dive in to storytelling with Maps, find examples with Street, and view and discover tools where audio brings panoramic images to life.

Trainer: Isabelle Sonnenfeld, Google News Lab lead for Germany, Austria and Switzerland
