1. When I think of data journalism, I think of long, investigative pieces that usually cover more serious of conflict-related issues. While that may be the case the majority of the time, how does someone in your position also go about pitching more “light-hearted” story ideas still using data/extensive graphics such as your Disney land piece? In your opinion, why is data and graphics in a piece like that important?
  2. What are more advanced graphic tools/programs students and graduates should know how to use if they want to get their foot in the door of the data journalism world?
