Participants received guidance on how to access data more easily, how to interpret it correctly, and how to integrate it clearly and concisely into their journalistic stories.
The event was assessed as very useful by the journalists present, who highlighted the importance of such initiatives for improving the visibility and accessibility of statistical data to the public.
