Data workspaces, made simple.
Welcome to Workbench! (CJ for computational journalism)
- Our public server, now in beta.
Workbench is a platform that combines data tools and training for journalists. It is a workbook-style data processing system designed around modular tools for data processing -- table in, table out -- with no code required. Features include:
- Modules to scrape, clean, analyze and visualize data
- An integrated data journalism training program
- Connect to Google Drive, Twitter, and API endpoints.
- Every action is recorded, so all workflows are repeatable and transparent
- All data is live and versioned, and you can monitor for changes.
- Write custom modules in Python and add them to the module library
Try it
To see what Workbench does, try our public server, now in beta. Or run your own server.
