Data Journalism Awards 2014 for NZZ Data
The data journalism team at the *Neue Zürcher Zeitung*, in collaboration with the Zurich-based design studio Interactive Things, has been honored with the international «Data Journalism Awards 2014» for its portfolio.
In its verdict, the jury wrote: "The diversity of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung's work is clear, well designed and technologically advanced. The Neue Zürcher Zeitung team shows how high-quality data journalism can work even in small organizations." Furthermore, the project "The Migrants' Files" was awarded. A group of journalists, including two female colleagues from the NZZ, investigated how many migrants have perished on their way to Europe since the year 2000. The number is enormous: there have already been over 23,000 deaths - much more than previously assumed. The numbers are now recorded in a database that is accessible to any interested person.
