BBCJournalismLabs: A data project with a ‘human face’
March 13th, 2009Posted by Judith Townend in Editors' pick, Multimedia
Bella Hurrell updates on the BBC’s development of a ‘UK fatalities in Afghanistan and Iraq’ data interactive.
Originally a list of names, it then became a sortable table. Hurrell writes:
“This was followed by a dynamic visualisation of the figures in Flash. Last week we added the In Pictures page, which is an aggregation of thumbnail images of all those who have been killed in the conflicts.
“This latest page strengthens the coverage, adding another dimension that makes it far more personal, rather than purely a functional way to view the raw data.”
