Mail Online may be best known for eye-catching updates on its infamous sidebar of shame but it is also growing its reputation as a home for immersive in-depth reporting via its British Journalism Award-winning Deep Dive online strand.

Mail Online hired senior visual storytelling designer Harry Lewis-Irlam to work on the new format in January 2024.

He has been working alongside Mail Online’s data team, led by associate editor Stephen Matthews, to create pieces like an hour-by-hour visualisation of D-Day, minute-by-minute of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, and an exploration of what could happen if China seized Taiwan.
