Project description:
The topic is an investigation of the repercussions of the Russian war on the global economy by focusing on the families affected by these events..
I tried to humanize the economic figures and economic equations in order to simplify and facilitate the readers.
I tracked and monitored these global repercussions on an Egyptian family..
Through reading, readers discovered the extent to which Egyptian families and the Arab world were affected by the repercussions of the Ukrainian war and Covid-19.
Impact reached:
Many interacted with the topic and expressed their admiration for the wording and simplification. They confirmed that the article of the topic actually applies to them.. and demanded government action immediately.
Several journalists in local newspapers tried to imitate the issue.
The topic highlighted the scale of the problem in Egyptian society and the Arab world as well.
Indeed, the government moved to solve the crisis, among other crises, locally.
Techniques/technologies used:
Monitor and track financial data and economic decisions in the subject
Measure the economic repercussions compared to the size of inflation
Comparing government economic data with the size of the actual repercussions on families..
Context about the project:
Coexistence of an Egyptian family on an almost daily basis
Data collection, review and correction.
Comparing household data with economic data and then government data.
There are no threats or legal problems… because the topic dealt with the economic crises in a humane manner..
With the increase in the size of the economic crisis in Egypt, the message had to be delivered in a different way so that everyone could see it without falsification.
What can other journalists learn from this project?
How to simplify complex economic topics in a simple and smooth way, Which brings readers back to interest in numbers and economic data.
