Divided Baltimore: Visualizing inequality in Baltimore City
How do news organizations use data and graphics to shine light on issues of race, injustice and inequality? Visualizing data can offer quantitative insight into social issues and help explore numbers beyond mere statistics to see what stories lie within. This presentation by Baltimore Sun interactive design editor Adam Marton will examine graphics and data visualizations that explore police brutality, segregation, racial inequality and the soaring murder rate in Baltimore City.
