WNYC: Taking It Public
WNYC is home to some of the most impactful and important journalism in the country. Built around the tagline “Taking It Public,” we created a series that shed light on the deep reporting of their podcasts and radio shows. We used animation, a dynamic sound wave device, and voices of the reporters themselves to tell the story.
