This multimedia project showcases the work of photojournalist Mimi Chakarova. After the collapse of communism in 1989, millions of former Soviet bloc residents migrated abroad, breathing life into one of the oldest criminal enterprises—the trafficking of humans into sexual slavery. Since then, thousands of Eastern European women have been sold into prostitution. Mimi has been documenting this phenomenon for the past seven years. I worked closely with her to create a multimedia presentation using her photography and video interviews she collected of sex trafficking survivors. I edited all of the videos, produced the multimedia map, and managed production of the website—from conception and design through content development, construction, and launch.

The Civil Rights Cold Case Project is a multimedia investigation of unsolved civil rights-era murders in the South—a collaboration between the Center for Investigative Reporting, Paperny Films, WNET, and journalists working around the country. I led the website project—from design through content creation, development, and launch.

Dirty Business is a feature documentary produced by the Center for Investigative Reporting and directed by Peter Bull. The film reveals the true social and environmental costs of coal power and tells the stories of innovators who are pointing the way to an alternative energy future. Dirty Business also examines what it means to remain dependent on a 19th century technology that is the largest single source of greenhouse gases. Can coal really be made clean? Can renewables be produced on a scale large enough to replace coal? I designed the website and led the project through content creation, development, and launch.
