Abstract

Data Journalism in 4D with Living Atlas and Story Maps
Track: Media
Authors: Tierney O'Dea Booker

Data journalism doesn't have to be limited to statistical models and flat visualizations. GIS is a powerful tool to find, analyze, and report on vital stories. News organizations have cut their environment desks due to costs, even as climate change becomes more apparent. However, with ESRI's latest data products and cloud platforms, we can efficiently reboot the newsroom, reviving science and environmental reporting with new data integrations, crowdsourcing, imagery, & storytelling capabilities.
