Dataharvest 2026 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

Many journalists have published investigations, data stories, and visualizations across different outlets, but no single place to display all their work. In this hands-on session, participants will build a simple, professional portfolio website using GitHub Pages, creating a central hub where their work can live together, even without previous web development experience. By writing and modifying small pieces of HTML and CSS together, participants will see how a simple page can gradually become a polished portfolio.

To attend this session, no prior coding knowledge is required. Familiarity with GitHub or basic HTML is helpful but not necessary. After attending this session, participants will have a live portfolio website that they can continue improving and use immediately for job applications, pitching stories, or showcasing investigative work.

Participants should create a free GitHub account before the session: https://github.com/join. It is also useful to install Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/
