In December of 2015, I traveled to Paris to cover the UN climate talks for The Christian Science Monitor. I wanted to make a bit of a splash for such a momentous occasion, so I put together a standalone microsite built on the Atavist platform. It featured a blog, an interactive map, aggregated CSM stories from Paris and beyond, and a dedicated MailChimp email list. Before I jumped across the Atlantic, Harvard’s NiemanLab interviewed me about the project.

I wanted to be able to package various stories in various ways that let them feel and look different from all the regular coverage you might see.
