I'm going to talk around 7 observations about data journalism (listed here http://objectgroup.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/data-journalism/) with the aim of showing what data journalism can do for you.

1. what does the government spend money on?

3. how well our tax "investment" is doing?

4. owed and owned – debts = return to investors

5. investment and profits + debts = owned and owed
