The Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle are collaborating with news outlets across California in a combined data-gathering effort to better report on the spread of COVID-19. “As journalists, we’re typically in competition with each other,” said Times Data and Graphics Editor Ben Welsh. The Chronicle has been doing similar data gathering and analysis over the same period. Through the new collaboration, the data collection work will be shared between The Times Data and Graphics team and their counterparts at the Chronicle. For more information about The Times’ coronavirus tracker, which is updated daily and includes a searchable list of counties across California, go to latimes.com/coronavirustracker.
