How do you tell one of the biggest stories of the automotive year? With skills learned through the Digital News Academy and News Corp Australia, the possibilities are almost endless. We went beyond the usual text and tables with customer case studies, video, infographics, tables and more to bring life to the battle between Ford and Toyota for the number one spot on the sales chart. Check out the premium story by Richard Blackburn and myself, or the unlocked version with Dom Tripolone, below. Premium (subs) story: https://lnkd.in/gDkPvSwe Unlocked (free) story: https://lnkd.in/gs4iqAPu Huge thanks to Digital News Academy gurus including Campbell Reid, Sonja Heydeman, Rod Savage, Nic Hopkins, Christina Arampatzi and Maggie Zhang plus fellow DNA students including Lillian Saleh, Sophie Elsworth, Jonathon Moran, Scott Hannaford, Paul Starick and Sean Callinan for your help and inspiration - there are too many others to list. Paging News colleagues Louise Roberts, Evie White, Shoba Rao and Ryan Osland plus Ford folk Ben Nightingale and Matt Moran, along with Patrick Lyons and Tayla Hartley at Toyota, too.

I'm back from leave and a self imposed social media hiatus but I wish I'd seen this earlier. It's brilliant David McCowen and fills us all with great confidence that what we do in Motoring at News Corp is on the right path 👌
