Guardian Datablog editor Simon Rogers at Leeds Community News Hub today

The importance of data for journalists and their audiences will come under the spotlight at Leeds Trinity University College this afternoon. Guardian news editor and Datablog editor Simon Rogers will be talking about the power of data and the role journalists have in making it accessible and digestible for their audiences at the Leeds Community News Hub at Trinity University College in Horsforth from 1pm. More details here . The news hub project is aimed at getting community organisations more involved in the local news agenda and providing them with access to experts in the media. Are there any stories you'd like to work on or issues you'd like to investigate? Guardian Local editor Sarah Hartley will be on hand to help at the hub.
