Clay Johnson on creative technologists, designing with empathy and news as a community service
The Lab’s profiles are Q&As with smart people who are shaping the future of media. Follow the series. In many ways, Clay Johnson is a force of nature. He is best known as the co-founder of Blue State Digital, his book — “The Information Diet: A Case for Conscious Consumption” — and as a full-throated advocate for open source information in the federal government. In fact, meeting and befriending Clay was the highlight of my trip to Webstock in February.
Miranda Mulligan: Want to produce hirable grads, journalism schools? Teach them to code
Editor’s Note: It’s the start of the school year, which means students are returning to journalism programs around the country.
