Summary

The Neo4j team has announced a new program, the Data Journalism Accelerator Program, to support data journalists in analyzing connected relationships in Neo4j. The program aims to help journalists understand their data and uncover new stories by drawing connections between existing information and new sources. Participants will receive hands-on assistance from Neo4j engineers, while tools and integrations will be built to align with the needs of data journalists. Graph databases have a successful track record in investigative journalism, as seen in the Panama Papers and Swiss Leaks investigations. The program's details are announced at the Investigative Reporters and Editors (IRE) Conference, where the Neo4j team will also co-present on how graph databases can help uncover wrongdoing.
