Multimedia Journalism and Information Visualization
Hello. I am a journalist who has spent his career exploring
multimedia storytelling and information visualization. My career began at
ABC News, where I made infographics and helped launch
ABCNews4Kids. I was
The New York Times’ first interactive graphics editor, founded its multimedia desk, and worked as the first web enterprise editor, before working as a video journalist. I developed tools for multimedia production, charts, and maps at both The Times and France’s
Le Monde, and covered breaking news stories and feature stories as a multimedia journalist. I came to
Stanford University as a
JSK journalism fellow and produced the widely cited data visualization documentary
Journalism in the Age of Data. While studying info vis, statistics, and cartography, I began collaborating with academics to explore fascinating topics in the humanities and social sciences. Through these collaborations, I began working between the worlds of academic research and explanatory journalism at
Stanford’s Bill Lane Center for the American West.
