Putting yourself on the map: learn how to map data in QGIS

Just as a picture is sometimes worth a thousand words, putting a dataset on a map can help us reveal patterns that would otherwise go unnoticed. In this talk, the Guardian’s visual projects editor Niko Kommenda demonstrates how maps are used to find stories in a lump of data and walks you through his recent investigation into Airbnb hotspots in the UK. The demonstration is centred around the free QGIS application; no previous technical knowledge is required.
