How data storytelling has changed New podcast: what is data journalism today? Data analysis is at an inflection point, with new technologies entering the field, and increasingly more practitioners working outside of journalism. This episode, Alberto Scott and myself reflect on how we got into data…

First day of teaching data journalism @medillschool.bsky.social today and we started with visualizing data using Lego

In art and literature, "criticism" doesn't mean "pointing out flaws." It's something bigger and more interesting than a referee calling fouls. I think we should have the same ambitions for data visualization criticism!

With today’s news about the jump in the number of homeless people, this @propublica interactive story released today is even more timely. The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps
