    The Wall Street Journal was awarded a Gold in the SND's Best of Digital Awards for "Blue Feed, Red Feed" (http://graphics.wsj.com/blue-feed-red-feed/), which I created and published in May of 2016. Using Facebook's tools and data we were able to illustrate the "filter bubble" phenomenon by displaying how individual news topics were being covered by popular publishers on Facebook, who were aligned with partisan liberal and conservative users.

  • Honorable Mention - Best Use of Technology in Journalism Award

    National Press Foundation

    "The Wall Street Journal took to heart the one-sidedness of the political conversation on social media. Journalists created an original tool that gave readers a side-by-side look at real conversations on Facebook from both sides of the political spectrum."
