Veel beter wordt het niet voor datajournalisten in spe: kom een jaar lang het vak leren bij de dataredactie van @nrc, solliciteer als trainee voor 16 okt.

PS. Deze autodidact moedigt twijfelaars aan juist te solliciteren. 🎉 En thanks @FondsBJP 🙏🏾

Following the resignations of over 60 of his ministers, Boris Johnson has resigned.
We visualized ministerial resignations since 1979, highlighting how Johnson experienced more ministerial resignations than any other PM in history and the rapid rate at which they resigned. (1/3)

We're hiring an intern creative developer at @f_l_o_u_r_i_s_h flourish.studio/jobs/develop… We're nice & we pay. You just need a couple of HTML/JS projects to show us: student projects fine. DMs open, happy to chat informally! please share!

Can't endorse this sentiment enough (though I'd hesitate to call our code 'elegant'... more that deadlines force our tooling to be able to handle inelegance gracefully!). Come be a newsroom coder — I can't guarantee you'll get paid as much, but I guarantee you'll have more fun
Newspapers are the perfect lab for JavaScript. The news cycle requires very elegant development with daily feedback. Consider developer jobs at @nytimes, @WapoEngineering and elsewhere over Silicon Valley.
