Enhancing Journalism with Data: The Power of Web Integration

In an era where data drives storytelling, Derek Willis explores how the web has transformed journalism. From his experience at NYTimes and other esteemed publications, he emphasizes the importance of integrating data into narratives rather than merely using it as a delivery tool. By fostering a new relationship between database editors and developers, newsrooms can evolve. Willis advocates for a data-centric approach that prioritizes audience engagement and enhances the storytelling process, making information more accessible and impactful.
