#HumansOfCopyright: Maarten Lambrechts, Freelance Data Journalist – Copybuzz

"Maarten Lambrechts is one of a new breed of journalists who tease out stories from large quantities of data by analysing it with a variety of digital tools. This approach is generally known as text and data mining, since it views collections of text and data files as a kind of “ore” containing more valuable material in the form of the underlying patterns and trends lurking within. However, data journalism is now under threat in the EU because of Article 3 of the proposed Copyright Directive, which will severely limited how text and data mining can be carried out by professional journalists. The interview took place at the ‘Humans Of Copyright – Real Life Stories‘ event in March 2018."
