How to use scraping and parsing when collecting data? We will get to know the topic based on the example of a journalist. Kate Mamyan will discuss the types of data journalists typically use in their practice, why they need data collection automation, and how to implement it practically. The coding part of the meetup will involve working with Python libraries that enable the scraping and parsing of websites.

Data journalist Kate Mamyan works on data projects at infocom.am, teaches the Data Journalism course at Hetq Media Factory and serves as a mentor for the educational project Lampa Accelerator at the School of Data in Kyrgyzstan.

For a full immersion, it is advisable to have a laptop with you.
