There is no better way to do that than by aggregating facts, or data, and analyzing and providing that analysis in the most accessible way possible. To do so, journalists across sectors and media need a technology that is compatible with the realities of the modern newsroom and provides data analysis on the go. CartoDB is that technology for the new media sector.
