I am a digital journalist

who loves data, visualization and innovative storytelling. I am also passionate about sports and, especially, the Olympic Games.

Currently I am a senior writer at Storybench.org, where I cover the future of journalism and new storytelling strategies. I am also a correspondent for the Reinventing Local TV News research project, analyzing the formats and practices of local stations across America.

Here are some of my personal favorite websites combining what is best in data, visualization and journalism.

• The Pudding, awesome online magazine of visual essays.
• Everytown Gun Law Navigator, data viz and design at its best.
• FiveThirtyEight, in-depth data journalism.

I find exchanging ideas and trading experiences are very valuable in the news media industry. So, if you want to chat or think there is something out there I should know about, give me holler: tweets to @fsorodrigues or e-mails to fsorodrigues [at] gmail [dot] com.
