Summary:Student journalists noticed employees of a sports marketing company were listed with umd.edu emails, which showed its close ties with the school. For "Invasive and Incomplete," on post-flood cleanup failures in eastern Kentucky, Louisville Public Media reporters queried ArcGIS to track the slow progress of debris removal when the state refused to provide the information they were looking for. The Louisville Public Media team also used Flourish to chart key data, and mined JavaScript libraries, including one called Ukiyo and another called Lenis, which they used to incorporate smooth animations and scrolling in the presentation of "Invasive and Incomplete." ♦ Level up your toolbox SEARCH SERVICES Helpful tools for searching people include LexisNexis' SmartLinx Comprehensive Person Search, which requires a paid account.
