Interviewing data and interviewing people are not so different — we swear!

Being data literate is so important today, so at Merrill College we teach data journalism and incorporate it throughout our curriculum and practice. And we love it! 💻🥰💻

Our reporters asked Maryland voters what brought them to the polls. We’ll share their stories in this thread throughout #ElectionDay.
