The Straits Times is Singapore’s most widely read print newspaper, and its online presence is full of innovative data visualization projects. Our guests this week — Charlene Chua, Hannah Ong, and Stephanie Adeline — are three of the young journalists making it happen. They join us to discuss their work and how the Straits Times became such a powerhouse of data journalism.

Charlene Chua, Hannah Ong, and Stephanie Adeline are members of the digital graphics team at the Straits Times. Their work has recently won awards from the Singapore Press Club, the Society for News Design, and the Society of Publishers in Asia.

Work mentioned in the episode:

  • Climate change: How Singapore is saving its shores from rising sea levels

  • How hawker signboards tell the story of Singapore

  • Flight of the common rose: How are Singapore’s butterflies impacted by climate change?

  • How accessible is Singapore? We travel with a wheelchair user to find out.

  • Inside the confusing world of women’s clothing sizes

  • Why handwriting matters

⁠⁠⁠The⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠music this episode⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠ made with⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠TwoTone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, represents the predicted sea level rise in Singapore by the year 2100. The Data Journalism Podcast is produced by Ozzy Llinas Goodman.
