hello from gainesville, florida

~news~ I can finally share that I’ll be joining @wpdatateam @washingtonpost as a data reporter on the well+being team in a couple weeks! So so excited to get started. I’ll also seriously miss working with my fabulous colleagues at @ftdata and across the @FinancialTimes 💕

It's 2023. We'll only be communicating with you via fax. Plan accordingly.

Tag your favorite @wpdatateam member below. @meghanhoyer is Bowser. Also: our team can take your team in Mario Kart

@normconf This talk in particular from @Randy_Au was triggering:

Spending our team skillshare watching @normconf lightning talks and everyone's data anxiety is now SKY HIGH

@WapoEngineering @wpinvestigates @PostGraphics @jenburkejenkins @paigethepaige @abtran @dataeditor @tmellnik @emamd @ReubenFB @DavidSFallis @sarah_childress @marisa_iati @clurhealy In fact, when we started collecting this data, the FBI reported about half what we did. Last year, they collected just 1 in 6 as more departments failed to report their shootings.

@WapoEngineering @wpinvestigates @PostGraphics @jenburkejenkins @paigethepaige @abtran @dataeditor @tmellnik @emamd @ReubenFB @DavidSFallis @sarah_childress We’re releasing the new data in conjunction with an investigative story from @abtran, @marisa_iati and @clurhealy that found that while FBI data makes it look like fatal police shootings are plummeting, that they've actually gone up in recent years: https://t.co/v1BahuvbWY 6/

This work was a huge effort between @wpdatateam, @wapoengineering, @wpinvestigates, @Postgraphics and our research team. Especially: @jenburkejenkins, @paigethepaige, @abtran, @dataeditor, @tmellnik, @emamd, @ReubenFB @DavidSFallis & @Sarah_Childress https://t.co/0eYfgKbmUt 5/

And after 8 years, we’ve rebuilt our backend for this project, because we don’t plan on ending our tracking effort anytime soon. 4/

Meanwhile, the public dataset on github has more fields – including the unique federal ORI code for each agency – which will allow you to join our police killings data with other federal data, including employment figures, grant funding + crime rates: https://t.co/LmrtIT3KPI 3/

The interactive will let you filter the data on categories like state, police agency, race and whether a victim was armed at the time of the shooting. If you find a filter you’re interested in, you can download that slice of the data as a csv or json.
