Love Data 2024: The Intersection of Data and Photojournalism with Jenn Poggi and Josh Meltzer
Love Data is an international celebration and awareness campaign designed to build community and understanding around research data. This year's theme is “My Kind of Data”, which focuses on data equity, inclusion, and creating a kinder world through data. RIT Libraries is excited to be celebrating Love Data 2024! Please join us for the event below.
Data is a central component in non-fiction visual storytelling, both as a source of ideas and the contextual support underpinning many photojournalism projects. Meltzer and Poggi will discuss several bodies of work, demonstrating how data was used and ultimately translated into intimate visual storytelling.
