Ada Homolova - Data Journalist & Educator

Ada Homolova

Professional frosch

Hi! I'm Ada, a freelance data & investigative journalist and teacher. Over more than 10 years I've made a lot of stories with small and big datasets, and I'm here to share what I learned along the way.

I've always loved helping other journalists get comfortable with data, because I believe these skills should be for everyone. I've taught at conferences like Dataharvest and NICAR, given guest lectures in the Master's program in Gothenburg, and mentored journalists 1:1 through programs like IJ4EU.

I founded Data Frosch by accident, because I bought a frog hat last winter. 🐸
