Tobacco funding database

Timeline: Aug 2018 - Sep 2018 | Visit link

Description: I worked with journalist Jessica Glenza and editor Mark Oliver to create this story on Big Tobacco’s global influence, especially in developing countries. The story uses maps and animated assets to show the global phenomenon.

Part of the purpose of the tobacco investigation was to create an official record for other organizations. We created a database of more than 100 free-market thinktanks that have argued against anti-science and pro-tobacco policies. The database links to these arguments, and also links to which thinktanks have received donations from Big Tobacco companies.

Jessica Glenza and Sharon Kelly organized all of the evidence and financial records in a spreadsheet, and I designed and developed the database.
