QGIS Sorceress in Training: A QGIS User’s Story
summary
Journalist turned mapper learns QGIS from a seven‑year‑old YouTube playlist and six months of self-study, then builds embeddable newsroom maps for Financial Times and Bloomberg: locator maps for Yangtze floods, proportional circles showing Chinese investment by country, rail and shipping route layers, and color‑coded frequency tracks of China’s air and naval movements. Uses Berkeley Earth PM data to map winter pollution hotspots and later improvements, relies on plugins and relief rasters, sees recurring bugs but leans on the spatial Slack community for fixes.
