2022 in Philadelphia was a year of elections with nationwide consequences, surprise World Series pushes, always in-flux inflation rates, and much more.
It was a lot to make sense of. On the Interactives Desk, we tackle subjects differently in the hope of giving readers a better understanding.
This could mean taking issues like abortion access and visualising how other state’s laws could impact Philadelphia. It could also mean taking the humble hoagie, a Philly icon, and letting people crown the undisputed best in town. Or it could mean letting our readers play Tinder with their sports teams.
Here are just a few ways, from the past twelve months, that we’re particularly proud of.
