Why stories and data
Or, why is there a journalist talking about data in this room- Data and journalism in newsrooms in NZ
- Our audience
- Feedback loop on a scale (Election)
Narrative in data sets
Or, why you should mistrust headlines- Choosing a narrative
- Compelling narrative versus truth
- It's about real people
- The story is never finished
What is the purpose of a visualisation?
- Show the data
- Visualisation gives the reader/user ownership (Best example - Upshot's you draw it)
- How does your audience relate to the story
Evolution from Tufte to Bret Victor
The role of interactions- Explorable explanations - Parable of Polygons example
- The Ladder of Abstraction
My favourite visualisation this year
An example of effective storytelling through dataQuestions?
