This year's CAR conference was in neighboring Saint Louis, and as a result many MU faculty and staff were in attendance. Join us to discuss what you learned and loved or find out what you missed!
NICAR is an (Inter)national conference with attendees and presenters from news and technology organizations around the world, including The L.A. Times, The Guardian, ProPublica, ScraperWiki, Northwestern University and many, many more.
