I apologize in advance, because what I am about to show you will take up an hour of your time. However, it is well worth it to carve out this time to listen to a recent speech by Gabriel Dance, senior multimedia producer at The New York Times. Speaking at The CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, Dance spends over an hour talking about how he got to where he is today, what tools he uses, the importance of usability, context and transparency, and much more. I have embedded all of the videos here for your convenience, so take some time during your coffee breaks and lunch hour to be inspired by one of the best in the field!
