Joyce Sohyun Lee

Joyce Sohyun Lee och hennes kollegor i Washington Posts Visual Forensics team har med hjälp av ansiktsigenkänning, tidigare opublicerat videomaterial och intervjuer med kongressledamöter rekonstruerat det som hände i Kapitolium, Washington, den 6 januari 2021. Filmen "41 minutes of fear: A video timeline from inside the Capitol siege" vann Pulitzerpriset i klassen Public service. På Gräv23 går hon igenom arbetet med videon steg för steg och beskriver hur den här typen av innovativ journalistik kan bidra till att förstå stora viktiga nyhetshändelser. Hon hjälper oss också att hitta verktyg för att göra våra egna berättelser med hjälp av metoder som används i visuell kriminalteknik.

Joyce Sohyun Lee började som videoredaktör på Washington Posts utlandsdesk 2017 efter att ha arbetat som videoproducent på Time magazine. Hon har en bachelor från Medill School of Journalism vid Northwestern University.
