The Pudding publishes reported stories built around data, interaction and original visual systems. Each piece chooses a format for its subject instead of forcing every story into the same article template.
What it publishes
Subjects range from music and film to language, sport and the built environment. The common thread is not data for its own sake, but an argument that becomes clearer through a visual or interactive form.
Why it is useful
The archive is a practical education in matching form to material. Pieces are polished, but their methods remain legible enough to study rather than disappearing behind spectacle.
How to browse it
Choose a subject you already understand and pay attention to what the interaction adds. The About and process writing are useful for teams working on their own visual stories.
Things to know
- Methods and depth vary between stories.
- Some pieces are demanding on older phones.
- Visual polish can make uncertainty easy to overlook; read notes and sources.
