Interactive Journalism: Hackers, Data, and Code [Usher, Nikki] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Interactive Journalism: Hackers, Data, and Code Review: Fascinating book for both academics and professionals - Usher has written an outstanding study of a growing phenomenon in digital journalism - the process of using code, and often substantial data, to build beautiful, engaging interactive features about the news. Usher is an academic, but this isn't just a theoretical book. She's visited numerous news organizations and conducted hundreds of interviews, and the book has vivid description and thoughtful quotes from journalists doing cutting-edge work around the world. I expect that academics and grad students interested in digital journalism, hacking and coding, and the future of news will be the group that finds this book most appealing - Usher does an excellent job putting interactive journalism in a sociological context, and her exploration of 'professional subspecialties' is especially insightful. But I'd recommend this book to college students and professional journalists, too. It's a great picture of how those jaw-dropping news interactives are made, how the people who make them think, and what it takes to do that kind of work. Review: Useful book for me
