Alan Smith: Inside the FT's data journalism operation

Alan Smith is a rare breed: he leads the FT's team of data reporters and designers, but has a background in the stuffy world of official statistics as former head of digital content at the UK's Office for National Statistics. Alan is also author of How Charts Work, a handbook on designing with data using the FT's principles. He chats with Simon and Alberto about his approach to data journalism and how to make numbers accessible for everyone.
