The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is pleased to announce that Justin Price has been hired as a data journalist for the newsroom’s Digital Storytelling team.
Price is a data reporter who has investigated charter schools, police, prisons, and those in power by constructing and analyzing databases. He previously worked at The Arizona Republic, where he was instrumental in building the Republic’s data team and infrastructure for producing important investigative data journalism.
His impactful work has been recognized with the George Polk Award and the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting. Justin is pursuing his master’s degree in data science with an emphasis on geographic information systems.
“Justin’s experience as a data and investigative journalist will benefit people throughout every part of the state,” said Charles Minshew, manager of the Digital Storytelling team. “He’s used his data analysis work to hold those in power accountable across the country and I couldn’t be happier that he’s joined our team to do this important work in Georgia.”
In his free time, Price enjoys climbing, reading Octavia Butler and Frank Herbert, and attempting to recreate dishes he enjoyed in China.
