SECTOR: Newspaper, tv broadcast

“Dataroom” is a data journalism column published by the most widely read newspaper in Italy and written by Milena Gabanelli, a renowned investigative journalist. Each article she writes is accompanied by a video, and I was responsible for the entire post-production process.

My tasks included:

• Assisting with greenscreen filming in the studio and supervising the journalist’s speech during recording.

• Editing the approved footage and applying chroma key techniques.

• Sourcing and adding relevant video footage.

• Verifying data in collaboration with other journalists on the team.

• Designing custom icons and animating motion graphics to complement Gabanelli’s gestures.

• Addressing last-minute changes of any kind, such as inserting audio/video, updating data, or replacing materials.

There were two mandatory online video releases per week, one of which was also sent to the broadcasting station La7 as a TV report for their 8 PM newscast. I was the sole person in charge of the videos and consistently delivered them on time, even in this fast-paced environment.

Working for a newspaper, especially so closely with one of my favorite icons, was an incredible experience. I grew up watching Gabanelli’s investigative TV programs as a teenager with admiration, and I can now proudly say I’ve crossed “working with her” off my bucket list.
