Love Data Week: Empowering readers through data journalism

Colin Evans, the data editor at Temple University's Logan Center for Urban Investigative Reporting, will speak about how data journalists collect, analyze and visualize data, and how their findings provide tools for readers to advocate for their communities. Evans will also discuss his work with students at the Logan Center and how data plays a role in the center's investigative reporting.

Presenter: Colin Evans (KLN '21) is the data editor of the Logan Center for Urban Investigative Reporting at the Klein College of Media and Communication. A recent graduate of Temple's journalism program, Evans came back to Klein in 2023 to mentor students working for the Logan Center and assist in its investigatory journalism. His work has ranged from reporting on schools to gun violence to homelessness, with bylines in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Billy Penn and WHYY. He previously worked as the data reporter at LancasterOnline.
