Journalism in the Age of Data

Geoff McGhee has been producer at nytimes.com, head of multimedia at Le Monde and now John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University. These years at San Francisco are being productive, as we can see on this fantastic documentary about data visualization on the media.

Journalism in the Age of Data from geoff mcghee on Vimeo.

My recommendation is that you visit the original site to watch the movie in an interactive way.
And watch what people like Steve Duenes, Alberto Cairo, Sarah Slobin, Álvaro Valiño, Matt Ericsson, Nigel Holmes or John Grimwade, among others, have to say about this fashion genre way of storytelling.

The submission period ends at November 3rd, so you have enough time to prepare your graphics.
The judges should be well known to most of you: Nicholas Felton, Sarah Slobin, Ali Feski, Arlene Hernández (manager of kids.gov) and Mike Wirth.

Good luck everybody!
