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.

He’s the president, yet we’re still trying to answer basic questions about how his business works and who might be profiting from his administration: What deals are happening and who they’re happening with?
