FOI: The EU's legislation on data protection, GDPR, comes into force during the #EIJC18! There is no legal practice yet, some hope for clearer rules allowing for more transparency, others on the contrary fear a clampdown on transparency and a limitation of data journalism. Around this table we wish to gather everybody interested in the field, carve out important questions to follow and possibly a plan on when and how to keep each other informed until next year's conference. All participants can use the Dataharvest mailing list. Sign up via http://lists.journalismfund.eu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dataharvest --> add your email address, select a password. You'll get an automatic email; just reply to it without changing anything and there you go.
