Why R is good for Journalism - Oliver Hawkins

Oliver Hawkins - Editorial Data Scientist at the Financial Times 
This talk will explore how we use R for editorial work at the Financial Times, and how we tackle some of the key challenges of computational journalism. Why is R a good choice for data journalism? How does it integrate with other technologies? How do you follow good software development practices while meeting news deadlines? And how do you collaborate and develop skills in a team with different levels of programming experience?
