Structured approach to working with datasets for reporting. Implements Philip Meyer's precision journalism framework (observation, hypothesis, testing, analysis) and includes templates for methodology documentation, story arc structure from hook through implications, and data acquisition from federal sources like Census Bureau, BLS, and FRED. Lists preservation resources for removed federal data (Data Rescue Project, End of Term Archive) with specific notes about 2025 agency changes at EPA and CDC. Covers FOIA strategy for requesting databases in native formats, plus Python utilities for common cleaning tasks like name standardization and fuzzy matching. Useful when you need reproducible analysis workflows or transparent sourcing for quantitative stories.
