The original Emmy Award-winning and engagement-driven series of The New York Times, One in 8 Million profiled 54 everyday New Yorkers in sound and images throughout 2009. A print component of the digital stories ran in the Sunday Metropolitan section of The Times each week. 

Press included an interview on the making of the series and a Q&A.

Emmy-nominated Coming Out profiled L.G.B.T. teens around the United States in 2011, a year in which bullying and suicides of gay and lesbian teenagers were regularly making headlines, the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy had been repealed and the debate over same-sex marriage continued to divide the country. The reported narrative series also featured more than 200 reader-submitted stories, each carefully vetted for libel and defamation. The project was notable, in part, because it was one of the New York Times first successful call-outs to readers, soliciting thousands of responses. The Times, ultimately, had to close submissions because the response was so overwhelming.  

An interview on the making of the series is here.

Three Generations, One Roof is a portrait of a multi-generational Chinese American family living together in a tenement building in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Experimenting with weaving together oral history interviews to develop the characters, this magazine-length story was one in a series examining the way families live in New York City, roughly based off of Census data. The accompanying interactive Under One Roof documented the activity of the family during one evening by placing cameras on each floor of the tenement building.

Launched in February 2020, The March is an immersive virtual-reality exhibit that recreated the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
