Mona Chalabi

Mona Chalabi is a British data journalist. She has studied at the University of Edinburgh.[1] This page previously listed her to be of Pakistani origin. However, she has tweeted "Why do people insist on guessing my ethnicity?", linking to this wikipedia profile, adding "they always get it wrong too".[2]

After working for the FiveThirtyEight, Bank of England, and the Economist Intelligence Unit, she is now working for The Guardian.[3][4] She is considered one of the most influential people in the young field of data journalism.[5][6] She sees the importance of data journalism in the fact that politicians cannot get away with false claims anymore.[7] Her work is covering many diverse interests and she has written about racial dating preferences[8] to research on Wikipedia.[9] In an article for the New York Times she has argued for a more empirical approach to economics.[10] On October 23, 2015 she announced on her "Dear Mona" column that she was leaving fivethirtyeight.[11]

As of September 2015 she is working on a documentary on racism for the BBC.[12] For NPR she produces the Number of the Week.[13]
