Design thinking and iteration for journalism and interactivity

My advise on content development is: remix often. I love that this happens in technology and it's what we do at New York Times

Interesting NY Times projects on datajournalism and interactive storytelling are:
- High Rise
- Fractions of a Second: An Olympic Musical
- Interactive Map: Your Biking Wisdom in 10 Words
- Blackout poetry

When making RNW publications involve the target group from the concept creation phase all the way to the moment of publication (and later).

RNW concept: rewriting highly promising speeches of politicians by blacking out and adding text to a speech in order to write a speech that’s more reflecting on reality.
