☆ Philip Meyer, Reporter Who Pioneered Data-Driven Journalism, Dies at 93
  + stars: | 2023-11-08 | by ( Clay Risen | More About Clay Risen | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Philip Meyer, a former reporter who pioneered new ways to incorporate data, quantitative methods and computers into investigative journalism, died on Saturday at his home in Carrboro, N.C., a suburb of Chapel Hill. His daughter Melissa Meyer said the cause was complications of Parkinson’s disease. With a career spanning the latter half of the 20th century and several years into the 21st, Mr. Meyer was at the center of a revolution within the craft and business of journalism — a revolution that, to a large degree, he helped shape. When he began working as an assistant editor at The Topeka Daily Capital in Kansas in the mid-1950s, computers were room-size, turtle-speed contraptions, and reporting was done mostly through interviews, with the occasional trip to the library or the government records office. Mr. Meyer was among the few reporters who saw the growing power of computers to crunch data and produce new insight into complex questions.

A restaurant in North Carolina shut down after claiming that smoke from a cigar bar next door caused health issues. Two months later, it filed a lawsuit against the owner of Oasis Cigar Lounge as well as its landlord, local news site WRAL first reported. Other tenants in the building similarly had issues with secondhand smoke from the cigar lounge, he claimed. Oasis Cigar Lounge, meanwhile, left its premises in the shopping center in early October, it told The Local Reporter. "We simply did not want cigar smoke and toxins in our business."
