Alan Smith is a rare breed: he leads the FT’s team of data reporters and designers, but has a background in the stuffy world of official statistics as former head of digital content at the UK’s Office for National Statistics. Alan is also author of How Charts Work, a handbook on designing with data using the FT’s principles.
In the latest episode of the Data Journalism Podcast, he chats with Simon and Alberto about his approach to data journalism and how to make numbers accessible for everyone.
The music this week is by Smith: the Yield Curve, sonified.
Listen to the latest episode here.
