Ferran Morales is a data journalist and graphic designer at El Mundo Deportivo. In February, with the team at Media Lab Prado, he published The Story of Zainab, a data-driven narrative following an 11-year-old refugee and her family, that had to leave their home in 2011 because of the war in Syria.
The project was created as part of Visualizar 2017, a workshop for prototyping data visualisation projects, and drew on data on refugees.
