Really happy to be welcoming back MA Data Journalism alumna @oliviajlawlor from @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h to @BCUJournalism to talk to current students as part of a double-header on scrollytelling today
#bcujournos

I had no idea that @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h had sports-specific #dataviz templates "to map a player's positions on a field/court" (via @oliviajlawlor) app.flourish.studio/@flourish/spor… #ddj

Also useful to consider @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h's Stories feature as one way of creating animation that you can screencapture as a gif for social - e.g. flourish.studio/2021/01/19/mas… #ddj

I also didn't know you could reshape data (i.e. do pivot tables) inside @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h - great inside tip from @oliviajlawlor help.flourish.studio/article/49-cha… #bcujournos #ddj

Huge thanks to @oliviajlawlor for her talk about @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h and #dataviz to @BCUJournalism MA students this morning - coming away with loads of ideas around how to inject movement into visual storytelling...
