WikiLeaks cables expose Pakistan nuclear fears
US and UK diplomats warn of terrorists getting hold
of fissile material and of Pakistan-India nuclear
exchange.
American and British diplomats fear Pakistan's nuclear
weapons programme could lead to fissile material falling
into the hands of terrorists or a devastating nuclear
exchange with India.
The latest cache of US embassy cables released by
WikiLeaks contains warnings that Pakistan is rapidly
building its nuclear stockpile despite the country's growing
instability and "pending economic catastrophe".
Source-
US fears over Pakistan were spelled out in an intelligence briefing in 2008. "Despite pending economic
catastrophe, Pakistan is producing nuclear weapons at a faster rate than any other country in the world," the
secret cable said.
There are 120,000-130,000 people directly involved in Pakistan's nuclear and missile programmes … There
is no way to guarantee that all are 100% loyal and reliable.

 Reflecting the increased role that
numerical data is used in the production
and distribution of information in
the digital era
 It reflects the increased interaction
between content producers (journalist)
and several other fields such
as design, computer
science and statistics. From the point of
view of journalists, it represents "an
overlapping set of competencies drawn
from disparate fields

Data journalism has been widely used to
unite several concepts and link them to
journalism. Some see these as levels or
stages leading from the simpler to the more
complex uses of new technologies in the
journalistic process.
Designers are not always part of the
process. According to author and data
journalism trainer Henk van
Ess,[3] "Datajournalism can be based on
any data that has to be processed first with
tools before a relevant story is possible. It
doesn't include visualisation per se".
