Meet Jacqueline Dupree. Before the coronavirus, @JDLand was preparing laptops for reporters and maintaining The Post’s internal website. But as the virus took off, she started counting infections and deaths.
In the months that followed, Jacqueline chased infection data in her spare time and kept a spreadsheet to keep track of it all. It was a messy process, but she wanted answers.

She’s had a front row seat to the pro-democracy uprisings of the Arab Spring and how those historic protests — and efforts to silence them — have influenced everything from war in Syria to the rise of the Islamic State.

Last September, The Post published a story about how many women had been fatally shot by police since 2015. At the time, it was nearly 250 women. Now it’s at least 277. #PostForThePress wapo.st/3vASY7V
The story and reporting started when Post reporter and journalism professor @JohnSullivanAU showed grad students The Post’s Fatal Force database, which aims to count every fatal police shooting in the U.S.
Sullivan’s students @marisa_iati and @smbrugal had questions.

According to the data, people killed by police are overwhelmingly male, disproportionately Black and usually armed with a weapon. But @smbrugal and @marisa_iati wanted to know about the women in the database. wapo.st/3eMpGwj
