Excerpt:

Unless you're a computer programmer, those acronyms and program names likely appear more intimidating than useful. They look that way to many investigative journalists as well. But in a world where the story is hidden in the details, and the details come in the form of data, investigative journalists are trading pounding the pavement for a "digital toolbelt" to make sense of leaks before sharing their findings in an online newsroom.

This is a look at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists' favorite data journalism tools: what they are, how they work and where we’ve used them before. We believe in open source, or freely available, technology and use it wherever we can. Our tools range from simple spreadsheets to software designed especially for the kind of "big data" that produced some of our major investigations.
