Lessons from Malofiej - What to Do and What Not to Do Ever Again
By Jade Le Van, Data Analyst for Tableau Public
Named after Argentinian infographist Alejandro Malofiej, the Malofiej Infographics Summit is a news infographics event held each year in the beautiful city of Pamplona, Spain. This year, Malofiej took place during the same week as the Tapestry Conference, leading to some conference envy.
Their advice revolved around two main ideas: Everything has to be mobile-responsive, and interactivity has to serve the story.
Monica Ulmanu, visual journalist at The Guardian, shared a thing she did and would never do again.
Archie Tse, deputy graphics editor at the New York Times, shared a thing he did and would never do again.
And Alberto Cairo, Knight chair in visual journalism at the University of Miami, shared a thing he did and would never do again.
