This is your portal to infinite possibility.
How do I approach this story? ?
A little inspiration… Good artists copy. Great artists steal.
People love quizzes, especially those that tell them something about
themselves. j.mp/NYTdialectquiz Our most-read online item in 2013
The heat map on the left is informative — and
keeps people motivated to answer all 25 questions. By Josh Katz and Wilson Andrews of The New York Times
Find ways to involve your audience in the story. j.mp/NYTincome-college
Let people examine their assumptions. j.mp/NYTincome-college-results By Gregor Aisch, Amanda
Cox and Kevin Quealy of The New York Times
So what can you “steal”? This is where GitHub becomes
your friend.
Many news organizations — The New York Times included —
make code, tools and guides available for others to use. github.com/nytimes github.com/newsdev
Take a look at the Mother Jones quiz generator (uses
Google Spreadsheets) github.com/ motherjones/newsquiz
See the news quiz generator in action. j.mp/MoJo-scandal- apology-quiz
People have shared solutions that make it easier to work
together. People with lots of code experience have made tools that allow those with little code experience to get a story out faster.
