[HKRUG] Chung-hong Chan's Farewell Lecture - Storytelling with data: my awkward data journalism adventure

In this lecture, I will tell you my accidental venture into the business of data journalism. From a behind-the-scene look at technical details of some projects, I am going to share what I have learned and what I have been criticise for during my adventitious journey. In the end, storytelling with data is an art, a science, an engineering process, and everything in between.
