Edited by Daniel Franklin and Sacha Nauta. And as always at The Economist there were many more researchers, designers and editors involved. I’m delighted to have played a role in pulling this together as one of our interim special-projects editors.

A crack team pulled this week’s @economist.com cover package together. The stunning data visualisations are from @rospearce.bsky.social, brilliant modelling from @owenwntr.bsky.social and insightful reporting from @matthewholehouse.bsky.social

I love the idea of the storytelling with gender data fellowship! Looking forward to seeing what the fellows get up to📈

We used ChatGPT a year ago, @alexselbyb.bsky.social wrote about it in our data newsletter: view.e.economist.com?qs=6596a8f68...

Clearly we should give it another shot!

I'd also be interested in knowing which tool you used, @scientificdiscovery.dev. So far my experiences with generated alt text for charts have not been great, but if you can build upon them to arrive at this, they clearly have come a long way since I last tried!
