This story I'm very, very proud. It is, shall we say, my first approach Data Journalism. I will die of laughter, but true. Because the first thing I did was search the data, have them, compare them with others who describe reality and try to reflect reality as accurately as possible. The result is the double page full of letters that I have set. Beautifully designed by Jose (Fito) Santos, not have in principle nothing, nothing of anything that might be if anything remotely connected to the data period, Data Visualization.
But this only at first sight. Three things, if you look good, yes there is.
1.-Data and its flip side.
I think, as I said at the beginning of this post, that without the data to reflect more accurately the reality which then needs to be periodísitica and visual, you can not do anything. Or visual, or journalism. And these data, we have achieved. The two sides of the data, of course.
2.-The spirit of learning and research
do not know if we will succeed. If anything we get closer. But since then, I assure you I will try and I'll try to turn this page into something that looks like what should be a report that journalism can be defined as Data or Data Visualization. Then I regret to write and publish these words. But here's the challenge, the will and desire.
3.-links
We've got the people he knows, blogs and labs that talk about these issues and I put ten examples here if you like to try and learn together how the hell does this looks like it has a future in baskets.

Poor Granada rich
.- We are the last of Spain, but everyone wants to visit and live with us
.- The cold macroeconomic data can hardly compete with a context of quality of life to achieve desired Granada is a province
"It is true that Santander in Madrid or the salaries are higher and that society is richer, but it is equally true that the story and life are more expensive and do not live as well as in Granada. " He says an expert Extremadura Granada relocated to wealth and poverty of the tanned skin of a bull. Of faith or finding of fact, Granada is the last post as one of the poorest provinces in Spain. The latest Regional Economic Balance, which has released the Foundation of Savings Banks (Func), loops back to this province as the last European convergence, with data covering the period between 2000 and 2009. That is, as the area of \u200b\u200bland English is the most distance in between the richness of the Europe of the Fifteen as a whole.
José Antonio Morales, a spokesman for the Platform for Eastern Andalusia holds that "the report Funcas this time we have placed nearly thirty points below. This figure is even worse if we consider the latest inclusions Eastern countries poorer than ours in the European Union. It is an untenable reality that 31% of the population is unemployed, "according to the letter to the editor published this month in this newspaper. It adds that "taking into account that the Statute of Autonomy for Andalusia approved by only thirty percent of citizens have per capita funding, the province of Granada still away on points difference from the rest of Spain and Europe due to the extra cost in infrastructure for our relief, while the provinces and flatter populated Lower Andalusia will be increasingly away from our painful reality. "
Despite this view, no leaves his Roal Granada and the province receives visitors and welcome new neighbors every few minutes. The data do not account for these brainy economic reports speak of the Alhambra with more than two million visitors a year where three out of four of the tourists staying overnight in city \u200b\u200bof a ski resort with good weather attracts a million visitors and generated 200 million euros in just six months. Of data to find data that the foreign population has multiplied eightfold in the last decade and that 2010 has beaten the number of pregnancies in the last five years. At Granada Granada not only like but also, more are born despite the crisis and the data from these reports.
De La Caixa Funcas
And also loves people outside Granada. The province is only one (7.62%) below Madrid (10.30%) in the computation of provinces with more requests for reservations for rural tourism in the month of January this year. Something that sets the trend. And with respect to the capital, is the most resilient the tourism crisis and has better numbers than its main competitors and has established itself as a favorite destination for a weekend pass. It's all part of the paradox, contrast that explains how the land has become rich poor Granada.
Funcas report not only puts us in the background. The latest economic report from La Caixa 2010 returns to get the colors to Granada. If one of the parameters able to measure the development of a province is its industrial implementation, at least it has been for many years, this millennial gives the worst results of the autonomous community of Andalusia with the industrial index lower. Granada
Comparing with the other provinces, appear at number 42 on a total of 52, only eight provinces would be behind her and the two autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. All are population and economic volume much lower than in Granada: Teruel, Huesca, Ávila, Palencia, Segovia, Soria, Zamora and Cuenca. At the other end, Granada has a bar for every 153 inhabitants and in this type of rate only exceeded Malaga, which has 12,989 hotel establishments with a percentage of every 123 local citizens. Are at least symptomatic data.
In this kind of numbers can be found the explanation the survey has now released this February, the Diputación Provincial de Granada. Deputy Juana Maria Rodriguez commented that this survey had one last question to the respondents, personally, to contextualize the cold economic calculations. "They wanted to know the degree of satisfaction in their scope and in their personal lives." The results indicated that "the quality of life at the subjective level is very satisfactory, that is, fairly or very much." Keep in mind that the concept of quality of Granada "as a family, neighborhood, quality of life and health among others."
results and solutions And data
cool to hot stage shows the result. Explains Javier Hernández Andrés, director of the Secretariat of Internationalization of the UGR, which sees students literally stick cakes because they admitted to the University of Granada. "They are the European and international Erasmus coming from other continents," he explains. "The 2009-2010 academic year the program received 1,947 Erasmus students. The program itself from the rest of the world, received about 400. There are more agreements of all kinds which reveals that nearly 3,000 students have been welcomed by the UGR. Between them is 5,000, which in absolute terms is the first university in Spain to foreign population. With the Centre for Modern Languages, the final figure of 10,000 students.
solutions remain. Employers spread to every corner of the province calling for 'learning to sell', for 'knowing how to change the pattern of exploitation of our resources "for" commitment to innovation and new technologies. " One is Manolo Aranda, Zalabí Valley mayor and head of rural property of Uncle Cuevas Tuff. In a pee-country summary of the situation, assumes the lament of the rich and poor Granada explains: "There is no province in Spain that clicking anywhere on the map takes less than an hour so natural and cultural diversity. On average hours are in the snow, in 45 minutes on the beach, caves, deserts, five cultures (gypsies, medieval, Arabic, Roman, Phoenician). " Manolo
Aranda know there twigs for the future and only need to "take an idea and know how to give a little step forward." Gives an example. "Media Europe and Asia buy packages to visit Istanbul and Cappadocia. Istanbul Cappadocia its monumentality and their sites and caves. We can offer the same and better. Cappadocia is 400 kilometers from Istanbul. Guadix 45 minutes from the Alhambra. "

Jamonera the Alpujarra
"I chose live and work in the Alpujarra "
" I chose to live and work in the Alpujarra "ditch Mari Jose Cara, Navarra, Granada birth and heart. His story is simple. "I came because I was looking for work. I found it in 1998 Juviles Hams, a family company. I've always wanted to work in the Alpujarra and Juviles learned the trade of ham. And my partner, too. In 2005 we set up a shop in Granada and sold hams that were not ours. Then we decided to set up our own business. At first it went well and now with the brand hams with more partners Abuxarra and it's going out. " The analysis of data from the reports is as clear as his story. " "Many Sometimes the data they are still just numbers. I do not think we are in the queue, perhaps we lack the entrepreneurial culture, go a step further and discover that we have many resources that have always operated in a manner that may need to be changed. " He concludes: "The numbers, at least in my case, do not reflect the reality of what I feel, what I live, what I know. I chose to live and work in the Alpujarra. "
