Though strides have been made in that decade, there remains a lifetime of work left to do.\n\nToday, as all companies must support employees amid a global pandemic and racial justice uprising, Vox Media\u2019s Chris Clermont and Vox\u2019s Christina Animashaun encourage individuals in every role, at every company, to add a new requirement to their job descriptions: foster an inclusive culture.\n\nChris Clermont (He/Him) is the D&I Program Manager at Vox Media, and is pioneering project work focused on building empathy, leading with authenticity, and managing bias at Vox Media \u2013 building a roadmap for accelerating and sustaining diversity, equity and inclusion at the company and in media.\n\nChristina Animashaun (They/them) is the News Graphics Designer for Vox. Their job at Vox is to show \u2013 not just tell \u2013 the stories of the day by producing and editing news graphics, data visualization, photography and illustration. Prior to Vox, they worked as a graphics reporter at POLITICO and as a researcher at the Investigative Reporting Workshop. \n\nIn this conversation, Clermont and Animashaun share lessons from their professional and personal experiences, and invite others to share successes and failures on the road to pursuing an equitable company culture. \n\nJoin a conversation that includes:\n* Breaking the myth that diversity is a person \u2014 inclusive hiring along isn\u2019t the answer.\n* Action-based recommendations for putting a company\u2019s values into practice.\n* Pitfalls that the most inclusive and innovative companies run into.\n* Immersive storytelling\n* Foundational tips on how to launch one\u2019s own racial equity initiative or take a current diversity, equity and inclusion initiative to the next level.", "facilitators": "Chris Clermont, Christina Animashaun", "break": "", "everyone": "", "facilitators_twitter": "", "length": "75 minutes", "notepad": "", "room": "", "talk": "", "timeblock": "fri-1230pm", "transcription": "y", "event_dtstart": "2020-07-17T12:30:00", "event_dtend": "2020-07-17T13:45:00", "event_tzid": "America/New_York", "event_uid": "srccon-2020/fri-vox-dei"}

But far less common are partnerships on development, design and production needs, an area where most newsrooms may not be fully equipped and could use more support, as most outlets don\u2019t have their own dedicated developer, designer, and other technologists on staff. Yet this 'invisible work' is often the foundation of strong, innovative journalism.\n\nThis Spring, a developer and an editor from The Chicago Reporter, a small investigative news organization of just five staffers, teamed up with a designer/producer at WBEZ, Chicago\u2019s NPR station with a newsroom of more than 70 people, to cover the coronavirus pandemic in a unique way. Our goal was to avoid duplicating efforts on the hard but critical work of efficiently processing and visualizing important local data and reporting on the crisis of our lifetimes, and instead play to each other\u2019s strengths to build stronger news products. And by sharing the assets this partnership produced with a dozen other local newsrooms in two languages, our tools and graphics attracted more than 1.2 million sessions in less than three months. \n\nIn this session, we\u2019ll share everything we learned about building a symbiotic collaboration between very different newsrooms, including tips and strategies for getting buy-in from your bosses, establishing streamlined workflows, creating assets that work for a variety of different organizations (and their CMS\u2019s), and feedback loops to improve your products between different audience\u2019s needs. We\u2019ll also share our experiences of other successful \u2014 and not so successful \u2014 attempts to partner to meet journalistic needs beyond the writing and reporting. \n\nMost importantly, we want to hear about the \u2018invisible work\u2019 you've collaborated on, the work you wish you could collaborate on, and help you develop strategies and technical solutions for getting there.", "facilitators": "Asraa Mustufa, Paula Friedrich, David Eads", "break": "", "everyone": "", "facilitators_twitter": "", "length": "75 minutes", "notepad": "", "room": "", "talk": "", "timeblock": "fri-1230pm", "transcription": "", "event_dtstart": "2020-07-17T12:30:00", "event_dtend": "2020-07-17T13:45:00", "event_tzid": "America/New_York", "event_uid": "srccon-2020/fri-collaboration"}

Myths can sustain long-standing traditions, prevent people from questioning norms, and ultimately persuade an audience towards a certain belief or action. Much like many aspects of society and culture, the field of data visualization is rich with its own mythologies and problematic histories. Did data visualization help spur Manifest Destiny? What was the objective of maps containing \"moral statistics\"?
