Journalism in the Age of Data from Geoff McGhee on Vimeo.
Stanford has just released this hour long documentary interviewing some of the biggest names of data visualization in journalism, over on Vimeo.
Journalists are coping with the rising information flood by borrowing data visualization techniques from computer scientists, researchers and artists. Some newsrooms are already beginning to retool their staffs and systems to prepare for a future in which data becomes a medium. But how do we communicate with data, how can traditional narratives be fused with sophisticated, interactive information displays?
Definitely worth watching.
