Quartz hires Groskopf as reporter on Things team

Quartz executive editor Zach Seward sent out the following announcement on Tuesday:

Chris Groskopf has started as a reporter on the Things team. He’s working from Tyler, Texas, and splits his time between there and Washington, DC.
We’re really excited that Chris has joined us. He is extraordinarily talented in data analysis, among other skills, and brings with him a ton of experience working on teams of journalists who code. He previously worked for NPR’s visuals team, the PANDA Project, and the Chicago Tribune’s news apps team.
Many of Chris’s data tools are widely used by journalists, including many of us. Now we can more easily ask him questions. :) I think his most recent project, called agate, is going to change how data analysis is done in newsrooms. You can read more about it here. (By coincidence, in the world of minerals, agate is a variety of quartz.)
Please join me in welcoming Chris. You can follow him on Twitter or GitHub. And of course you can find him on Slack
