Last week’s Reporter-forum in Hamburg, Germany, was the latest forum to discuss it. I was lucky enough to participate as part of the team that produced the piece.

A new semester at the School of Visual Arts. First week’s exercise: fix an ‘infamous’ BBC’s chart about train fare increases. Some of their attempts.

The final project of last semester’s Information Design class was a story about one’s block. Katya Fialkova took an activist journalist approach.

Yet I had to do it. I had to revisit the elections.
