Edit, Please
Interactive tool informing journalists on appropriate language and framing
Prompt
I was approached by Vox Media to create a tool to inform journalists on how to approach language and framing on coverage of communities and identities. This project is part of their larger Language, Please initiative — a style guide covering a range of complex DE&I topics.
Outcome
An interactive learning tool, in the format of an edit test, to help journalists learn in context and share their perspectives with their peers. We also delivered an intuitive CMS for newsrooms to keep content in the tool relevant. In addition, I expanded on limited brand assets to create a visual identity and develop a design system.
Role
I was the designer and project manager on the project, working closely with a developer and editors at Vox to oversee the entire project — from proposal pitching, shaping, discussing tech stack, to design production and handoff.
