About
Datawovn is a media site dedicated to journalism through data, painting the big picture around critical issues in the news. It aims to address two shortcomings in digital news today. First, that a great wealth of knowledge is locked up in open datasets, and unlocking that knowledge requires more exploration and analysis of data by investigative journalists. Second, in order to grab a reader's attention, too many stories prioritize immediacy over context. But an engaging interactive visualization can maintain a reader’s attention while simultaneously conveying more substance than text could alone. My data visualizations have been featured on The Dish, Washington Post GovBeat, FastCo.Design, The Atlantic Cities, The Huffington Post, Wired Map Addicts, Gothamist, Curbed NY, Daily Kos, Valleywag, and PandoDaily.
