San Francisco Chronicle's Mission Project
Uploaded by Mars Latimore
The San Francisco Chronicle's use of visual storytelling tools helped tell a different kind of story about the city's changing Mission District. Chronicle Web producer Michael Grant and Business Editor Ben Muessig share how the newspaper produced a 22-minute documentary, interactive maps with panoramic views of the neighborhood, vignettes and long form reporting and as well as tons of data analysis to tell a more compelling story about how gentrification has affected this historic San Francisco community.
