ABSTRACT

Steve Duenes, the graphics director at the New York Times says solid news judgment, a ferocious sense of curiosity and a dogged pursuit of answers are required, regardless of whether you’re writing, making video or pictures, editing, or creating information graphics. Today visual storytellers also “need to be fluent with data, meaning they should be comfortable asking about it, and they should be able to analyze it and sketch with it once they’ve got it,” Duenes adds.
