VFF: Interactive web data visualization for journalism

Investigative journalism non-profit Global Witness embarked on a new experiment in 2013. Drawing on the expertise of open data non-profit Open Knowledge, Global Witness augmented four of its published reports with data visualizations and interactive graphics created with the JavaScript data visualization library D3.js ¿ its first time incorporating interactive digital content into its work. This talk will explore the creative process and tooling behind these four projects and will give a taste of the exciting possibilities afforded to journalists by modern web technologies.
