During her year as a Latin American Knight Foundation Nieman fellow at Harvard, Claudia M茅ndez created an interactive map of homicides in Guatemala City. You can check out the visualization of the data as well as each murder victim's name at Una vida es una vida.
Claudia also sat down for an interview with the Tania Lara of the Knight Center. Here are two of the questions that stood out to me.
