Unlock the internet’s treasure trove of public interest data with Hacks, Leaks, and Revelations by Micah Lee, an investigative reporter and security engineer. This hands-on guide blends real-world techniques for researching large datasets with lessons on coding, data authentication, and digital security. All of this is spiced up with gripping stories from the front lines of investigative journalism. Using Python or other programming languages, you can give your computer precise instructions for performing tasks that existing tools or shell scripts don’t allow. For example, you could write a Python script that scours a million pieces of video metadata to determine where the videos were filmed. In my experience, Python is also simpler, easier to understand, and less error-prone than shell scripts. This chapter provides a crash course on the fundamentals of Python programming. You’ll learn to write and execute Python scripts and use the interactive Python interpreter. You’ll also use Python to do math, define variables, work with strings and Boolean logic, loop through lists of items, and use functions. Future chapters rely on your understanding of these basic skills.
