How Gutenberg Powers The Pew Research Center, With Seth Rubenstein

Seth is the Lead Engineer at the Pew Research Center. He's been an early adopter of using Gutenberg in WordPress. He's often on the cutting edge of many of the coolest Gutenberg features. In this episode we dive into how Gutenberg is driving innovation throughout the Pew organization.

We cover these topics and more:

• What is the Pew Research Center? How does it help publishers?
• What is about blocks that meet the needs of Pew authors?
• A phrase stuck out at me from your WordCamp US presentation. You said that you want to kill “Settings” screens?
• How do Pew engineers interact and work with the writers on their platform. What does the feedback loop look like?
• Because Pew is a research organization, there are tons of charts and visualizations on their site. What tools do they have for authors to show data?
• Pew is always at the bleeding edge of Gutenberg. What comes next for you and the Pew team?
