Thank you to Sarah Slobin and Matt Ericson for stopping by today to share with us their data viz expertise from the newsrooms of Fortune and the New York Times. The interactive tales of two planes, as compared by Sarah, are here (Cory Lidle’s 2006 midtown crash) and here (US Airways 1549′s safe ‘ditching’). Highlights from Matt’s election maps are also posted to his own web site.  Plane crashes and the Columbine shootings a compelling but grisly start to our case studies, we’ll return to the themes of experiential storytelling with dry data later in the semester. We’ll also return to Matt and Sarah’s contention that dynamic/interactive/screen-based graphics have advantages over print visuals, and explore other narratives that emerge where physical place/information intersect.
