Yann Guégan
Contexte Journalist
Pantin, France
I am a journalist in charge of editorial innovation inside Contexte’s newsroom in Paris. I design advanced web scrapers, interactive infographics, data visualizations and internal tools for the reporters. I also contribute in my blog to the current conversation about the future of news, and I am a proud founding member of the Conseil de déontologie journalistique et de médiation (CDJM), France’s long awaited journalism self-regulatory body. I am a data driven journalism trainer, workshops and conferences in France and abroad.
A former freelance copy editor for various print outlets, I started working online in 2007, and discovered a whole new world, where journalists can enter a conversation with their readers. Since then, I kept on broadening his set of skills, learning data driven journalism techniques, webdesign tricks, user experience processes or useful programming languages.
