INTRODUCING DEMOGRAPHIC H/T

The Next America will feature examples of series, videos, interactives, and other online elements that help shape our understanding of changing demographics.

 

We welcome suggestions on projects worth examining more closely, providing a tip of the hat (or in Internet parlance h/t) to standout sites, galleries, stories or more.

In a video player honored for its innovative approach to filtering responses, Americans of various ethnicities and races replied to questions about race and politics. 

Disclosure: The Next America's editor, Jody Brannon, directed News21, which explored ways America is changing, from 2008 through 2011.

What is Next America?
Virtually every issue the United States contends with promises to be affected by deep currents of change illuminated by demographic shifts. With The Next America, National Journal unveils an unprecedented effort to explore the significant political, economic and social impact of profound racial and cultural changes.

The initiative includes polls, national and local events with thought leaders, magazine supplements and launch of a full website May 1.
