Why the haze has reached Singapore's shores again
This interactive story was initially pitched by our colleague Ryan Tan. We were tasked to examine the causes, origins and the hows and why it reached Singapore.
Solutions and Approach
Led by Charlene Chua, we explored multiple ways to visualize haze along with the guidance from our editor and Masters mentor Xaquin Gonzales-Veira, we attempted and pursued to use a new tool called Vapor which has the ability to visualize haze particles in the most visually sophisticated as possible.
Results & Impact
The datastory has gained a wider reach and positive feedbacks in social media especially on LinkedIn and Facebook. It gave people awareness and the ability to understand the haze situation in the clearest and visual way possible.
It also gained multiple recognitions from Society for News Design in 2024 within the categories of Environmental Science and Data Visualization.
