Visualizing The Media

Newspapers and other media outlets have dramatically changed how they present the news, using graphics to drive stories, following a “mobile imperative,” and even developing experiments in augmented reality. Last year the New York Times issued a manifesto of sorts, arguing that the “report needs to become more visual.” So how are news consumers responding to—and benefiting from—these efforts? Join our panel of newsroom insiders: Steve Duenes, the assistant masthead editor at the New York Times; Lazaro Gamio, visuals editor at Axios; Jackie Spinner, associate professor of journalism at Columbia College Chicago; and Jonathon Berlin, who leads the data and graphics team at the Chicago Tribune, for an in-depth look at media’s brave new visual age.
