Data Skills Test


For my Data skills test, I chose to analyse data from the Guardian's Data store, which reported on how Premier League broadcasting revenues are distributed.

The story stemmed from the news that Liverpool FC have called for overseas broadcasting deals to be changed. The data outlines who, in the Premier League, receives what in financial terms.

My graph shows the difference between various factors in the TV revenue category, including equal shares between clubs, the facility fees received, merit and overseas payments, and the totals for each respective club, in pounds.

I obtained my data from the following web address: http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/oct/12/football-broadcasting-deal-liverpool

I also used a couple of other links to support my graph, and in doing so, offer a more in-depth account about what it means:

Maps Skills Test

I chose four different stories from the Lancashire Evening Post and inserted the stories into the respective areas they took place, on a Google Map.

I wrote a brief summary for each article and attached links from both the LEP and external websites to the stories. I also obtained images from the internet that were relevant to the story and used them as icons for the story.
