About the project
At a time when Maryland’s population is growing more diverse, the schools are becoming more segregated. Baltimore Sun reporters Liz Bowie and Erica L. Green examined local attempts to better integrate schools by race and class.
My Role
As the overall visuals editor for the project, I worked closely with Bowie and Green, along with visual journalist Lloyd Fox to craft narrative videos for each installment. We spoke to parents, school leaders, district leaders, combed through school board meetings to tell the story of integration attempts and the overt racism that surfaced during the process in a Baltimore suburb.
The visual presentations integrated video, data, and photo elements that enhances the original, investigative reporting. I worked closed with the development to carefully place each element where they made the most sense and to ensure an optimal user experience.
