Forget milk and eggs: Supermarkets are having a fire sale on data about you

|
By Jon Keegan, Jonathan Keegan 
| Coda Story
When you hit the checkout line at your local supermarket and give the cashier your phone number or loyalty card, you are handing over a valuable treasure trove of data that may not be limited to the items in your shopping cart. Many grocers systematically infer information about you from your purchases and “enrich” the personal information you provide with additional data from third-party brokers, potentially including your race, ethnicity, age, finances, employment, and online activities.

Gerald Loeb Award

2012 - Online Enterprise

Shared the 2012 Gerald Loeb Award in the Online Enterprise category for my work on WSJ's "JetTracker" news application

View Award

Society of Newspaper Designers

2013 - Best of Digital Design

Silver medal and an award of excellence in the data project category for "Grading the Teachers", searchable database of NYC public school teacher (4th-8th grade) report cards issued by the Department of Education. Our project made significant improvements to the City's visualization of the teacher's scores, and used clear easy-to-read design to help illustrate the underlying flaws in the rating system.

View Award

Pulitzer Prize

2015 - Investigative Reporting

Led the interactive graphics team as we collaborated closely with the investigative reporting team to create a robust, easy to use database giving the public their first look at Medicare payment data. Our news app for this project allowed the reporters to find stories in the vast data dump, and each story integrated the news app to explain each story with data. We made a major effort to give each page important context and clarity, that helped our readers understand the significance of how this enormous amount of public spending was directed.
