The Productivity Sketchbook #15: Graphic Journalism is a Thing!?

One of the main purposes of this newsletter is to explore different ways to use visual notes. So when I read about Graphic Journalism in Doug Neill's newsletter last week, it intrigued me.

It got me thinking of the many ways you could use visual notes for news related content. You could sketch out a weather report, highlights from a sports game, or reviews of movies and books.
