Synopsis

Do you want to use R to tell stories? This book was written for you--whether you already know some R or have never coded before.

Most R texts focus only on programming or statistical theory. Practical R for Mass Communication and Journalism gives you ideas, tools, and techniques for incorporating data and visualizations into your narratives.

You'll see step by step how to:

  • Analyze airport flight delays, restaurant inspections, and election results

  • Map bank locations, median incomes, and new voting districts

  • Compare campaign contributions to final election results

  • Extract data from PDFs

  • Whip messy data into shape for analysis

  • Scrape data from a website

  • Create graphics ranging from simple, static charts to interactive visualizations for the Web

If you work or plan to work in a newsroom, government office, non-profit policy organization, or PR office, Practical R for Mass Communication and Journalism will help you use R in your world.

This book has a companion website with code, links to additional resources, and searchable tables by function and task.
