"Brnovich 'changed the rules on what to do in cases where the court says ‘well we don’t think this practice was intentionally discriminatory but it’s had that result.'" - Former DOJ Civil Rights Division attorney Pamela Karlan.

Why use graphics and data viz in climate reporting?

-It’s a global issue with regional differences
-It’s inherently geospatial — mapping is crucial
-There are a lot of numbers and measurements that are hard to conceptualize in a vacuum

At @merrillcollege collaboration is what we do. And sports is about more than the score, it’s about investigative reporting, business, race and gender, and more. Proud.

How many people die after police encounters involving force that is not supposed to be deadly?

One of the most alarming statistics I’ve read in a long time. All the more reason to support local journalism!

I hope to see all of you data friends, old and new, at .@IRE_NICAR next weekend! (but especially Saturday 😉)

5️⃣ With climate change coverage, reporters need to be intentional about methodology and presentation to cut through a morass of doomscrolling and pseudoscience. @Meltzer__ and @atthar_mirza lead this session: https://t.co/WzAwfZe9ac

Months of prep made it possible for us to get this out the day after McConnell news dropped. Massive shouts out to @NicoleSadek, whose API wizardry made the viz possible, and the peerless assists from @MaeveSheehey and @kackleyZ's always intrepid Hill and K St reporting. Go team!

[Angela Greiling Keane @agreilingkeane]

Deep dive by @Zachary_Cohen & @Meltzer__ into where the Three Johns most likely to succeed McConnell have spread their donations around.

How can you be more intentional in your methodology and presentation of climate change reporting? In this session, @Meltzer__ & @atthar_mirza will show you how to acquire, understand, analyze and visualize complex climate topics.

Read this great scoopy piece from @EmilyRSiegel. Love when a team plans graphics ahead of time so we can present a visual component with quick-turn reporting.
