About this project

This project provides a sortable list of datasets that may be of use to journalists. Most of the datasets and descriptions come from Jeremy Singer-Vine’s Data Is Plural, “a weekly newsletter highlighting useful and curious datasets”.

The original Data is Plural spreadsheet (and this remixed project) are published under a Creative Commons Attribution - Share Alike 4.0 International license.

You can find the GitHub repo for this project here.

Additional resources

The Global Investigative Journalism Network has published a collection of resources for finding and working with data. They also have resources available in Arabic, Bangla, Chinese, French, Portugeuse, Russian and Spanish.

Voice of America does not endorse and has not verified these datasets. This page was created as a resource for journalists to find potentially useful data to help report stories.

VOA provides trusted and objective news and information in over 45 languages to a measured weekly audience of more than 275.2 million people around the world. For over 75 years, VOA journalists have told American stories and supplied content that many people cannot get locally: objective news and information about the US, their specific region and the world.
