We're looking forward to having Matt Frehner and Jason Chiu (Head and Deputy Head, respectively) of the Globe and Mail's Visual Journalism department walk us through how the team works, what stories they’ve told and are working on, and what they’ve got their eyes on.

In February 2018, The Globe and Mail merged its photo, video, design, graphics, data and interactive teams into a single department known as the Visual Journalism team. It’s responsible for the presentation of all Globe journalism on all platforms.

This re-alignment has been part of an overall transformation of the entire newsroom and has led The Globe to become a leader in new approaches to journalism internationally.
