Unfortunately, it's not that simple. There is certainly now lack of data available nowadays, but that doesn't mean that there is also an equal amount of information in the data. Thus more data does not equal better insights. The amount of data can, in reality, often obscures the information that we are looking for.
This is especially true in the field of news. We are innundated daily with 'news', but often, the information to be gained from the news is close to zero. So the first task is to collect the data an filter out that which does not contain information.
My focus is on the data analysis, but to do that, it is often necessary to design and build systems for collecting, storing, and analysing data first.
I do that in the real of geopolitics, with special focus on Eastern Europe, former USSR, /Greater Middle East and South Asia. There is a free service, which you can access on my social media channels, but there is also a subscription based component to that.
Presenting the data to see the information.
The classic of date visualization. Numbers alone often don't quite tell the story
Visualizing data in maps to display the information wanted and gain insights
See the news as data and find the real information in it to learn what story is told
Necessary skill to know several languages and technologies to code processes
Data often comes in text format in different languages. Correct tranlsation is essential
Combining data analysis techniques and methods to gain insight is like assembling a puzzle.
I no longer have COVID-19 stats online, but it was very interesting to do and showed that the media narrative was mostly fake news - all using official data from the US (all states and national) and R to evaluate it.
The conflict maps are still online and will be expanded on in the future.
Every Site needs a privacy policy nowadays, so we have one too. It's a rather long read, so we have our own page for it.
It's a lot of words, but unfortunately, it is required, even though next to no one reads them, and only a few actually understand what it says.
Briefly describe what you would like to do and provide a way for me to contact you. Ideally provide a phone number where I can reach you.
