Ru Xu final concept
As a graphics & data journalist, I am interested in exploring how to use interactive media to present stories within news articles. I became interested in this topic when I studied R language programming and use it to make data visualization graphics. I would like my audience to interact with this piece by D3.js on websites. I would like them to feel clear and attractive about data presented in news articles. Technically, I think these are the steps needed to test my concept: d3 concept learning, example pieces analysis, finishing my work. I have researched into a few similar projects, such as students work from lede program in Columbia University. I think in the next few weeks, I would like to use the class time to find out how to import the complicated csv file data to d3, how to insert d3 graphics to a news article, and how to make Topojson map using d3. Visually, I would like my piece to look like this student's work from the lede program from Columbia University
