Putting numbers to the most under-reported stories in the United States

We helped a series presented by WGBH visualize surprising trends underreported in mainstream media.

Award-winning author, anchor and executive producer Maria Hinojosa helms this documentary series focusing on dramatic changes in U.S. demographics. From infant mortality, to a domestic oil boom on Native American lands, to the school-dropout rate in Asian-American refugee communities, each episode's narratives and visuals are supported by statistics in population, health, education, quality of life and consumer trends.

Across eight episodes of America by the Numbers, topics ranging from the effect of PTSD on veterans in Guam to the ways in which socio-economic status can affect infant mortality were explored through personal interviews and animated infographics. Dialogue Theory worked closely with Futuro Media Group to produce motion graphics visualizing the shifting landscape of American demographics and to give viewers a window into oft-underreported societal changes taking place across the nation.
