How A Crime Reporter Uses Data to Reveal the Truth

Ohio Crime Tracker journalist, Angela An, reveals how data exposes real, and sometimes very different stories.  Everyone has a story. You just need to know where to look to find a good one. Today the news viewer is inundated with click-bait, push alerts, infographics, and snappy headlines. The challenge for journalists today is to engage viewers to watch, read, or listen to a story where they can spend more than 30-seconds digesting the information. In this podcast, we will hear how data gathering is used specifically with WBNS 10TV’s CrimeTracker 10 franchise.
