Keith Fray heads the editorial statistics team, who source and visualise data on any subject that the FT might cover, and who also write data-related stories.
In over 25 years at the FT he has helped develop data visualisation into a core part of our journalism, convincing sceptical wordsmiths – and hopefully readers – that a well-judged chart is indeed worth a thousand words.
His background is in economics, studying at Birkbeck College, London, in the days before the academic subject became dominated by mathematical modelling.
He is also co-deputy chair of the FT Group chapel of the National Union of Journalists.
