This is excellent! I've taught a graduate journalism class in the past and <danso>'s approach here is inspiring -- I hope other instructors pay attention. Though note the class appears to be "COMM273D/Public Affairs Data Journalism," so the students enrolling presumably are willing to put in the effort required to learn a bit about SQL (I don't know if this approach would be as successful in a basic journalism course).
