The Nation, established by abolitionists in 1865, has long been a voice for progressive and independent journalism. It explores political and cultural life with depth and breadth.

Mona Chalabi, an Iraqi British journalist, has been transforming the perception of data visualization. She aims to make data visualization appealing and accessible, and her efforts are gaining traction. Chalabi’s distinctive hand-drawn figures, bursting with bold colors, highlight the ‘human aspect’ of data. This approach has resonated with a broad audience, elevating her social media following significantly.

Previously a data editor at The Guardian, Chalabi now lectures on graphic design at Al-Quds Bard in Palestine. Her unique style brings social issues to the forefront of her work. Through her creative approach, she has become known for making complex topics more engaging and understandable.

Chalabi’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. In 2023, she received the Pulitzer Prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary. This accolade was awarded for her New York Times series which vividly depicted the vast wealth disparity between Jeff Bezos and the average American. Her work continues to emphasize the importance of illustrating social issues through data.
