On ‘interviewing data’
.@fruys @vpro perfect #data soundbite: "just as you interview a person, you interview the data." So that's #NISLDN done, off home now :-)
— Suchandrika (@SuchandrikaC) June 5, 2015
Interviewing the data instead of the person… nice way of looking at it @fruys #NISLDN https://t.co/nG1K4BFSZD
— Katharine Mansell (@CommsNerd) June 5, 2015
When you are a data journalist you interview the data instead if interviewing a person, @fruys says. #nisldn
— Bahareh R. Heravi (@Bahareh360) June 5, 2015
.@fruys: 'looking through data sets is same as doing lots of interviews' you're always looking for the story. #NISLDN pic.twitter.com/t0tuVRwPM8

— Chris Brown (@P0st_News) June 5, 2015
Potential future threat to data journalism is the rise of data manipulators muddying the waters @fruys #nisldn

On ’torturing data’ (actual quote from Ronald Coase)
Question frm audience on maneuvering ethical prob re: potential of massaging data: "Don't torture yr data until it confesses" @fruys #NISLDN
— Hodan YusufPankhurst (@hyfreelance) June 5, 2015
Insight on data journalism from @fruys "if you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything." #nisldn
— Nick Keane (@nickkeane) June 5, 2015
"You want to tell a story, but not distort the data", says @fruys. "If you wanted to you could distort the data until they confess." #NISLDN
— EJC (@ejcnet) June 4, 2015
If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything 😂 @Fruys #NISLDN
