Telling Stories with Visualization and Infographics
Geoff McGhee March 27, 2011 10 Years in Infographics and Multimedia 10 Years in Infographics and Multimedia 20-odd people in journalism, academia, research and art Interviews About Data Visualization datajournalism.stanford.edu Video Documentary Podcast Available on iTunes Main Points Excitement I think that theres a sense that data is something more like a medium, something that can be used to tell stories, and to do all of the things that a medium can do, to delight and inspire... But... Communication Medium? How are journalists using data vis? Amanda studied stats in college and she's brought both a little bit more of a focus on data to the department and also just sort of an amazing ability to process data. New Players We have some open positions right now, and I would love for those positions to be geared towards somebody that had that skill set: Heres what the data is and the story is, heres how wed want to shape the story based on this data. Re-tooling Re-tooling We've changed the focus of our team to concentrate more on database journalism. Skepticism You can do beautiful things with computers and lots of data that look very, very nice, and are almost completely incomprehensible. We are very interested in how visualizations are being taken up in mass media, particularly in journalism, so we simply collected as many examples of that as we could.

Design space analysis of narrative visualization. Columns indicate recurring design elements and selected regions highlight patterns in the data. Region (1) shows clusters of ordering strategies that correspond to distinct genres of visual narration. Region (2) highlights the consistency of interactive designs used by visualizations. Region (3) shows the under-utilization of strategies to engage the user in the interactive functionality. Region (4) shows the under-utilization of common storytelling techniques across narrative visualizations.

Public workers make more Surveys by the Bureau of Economic Analysis show that public workers annual compensation salary plus benefits is higher on average than private sector workers, and they suggest that the gap is growing. especially when figured per hour of work. Public workers also put in significantly fewer hours per week. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, their compensation per hour is much higher. Most of the advantage is in benefits. They cost state and local governments $14 an hour on average, about 70 percent more than private employers pay for their workers. But comparisons are tricky Economists point out that government work tends to be in highly skilled categories, so it is misleading to compare the groups as a whole. Published: March 6, 2011 Are State and Local Government Employees Paid Too Much? Its not an easy question to answer for a number of reasons. Heres a primer on the issue.

Our goal has always been to find the stories in the data - and it still is. But how we work with data is being revolutionised because of the possibilities that using computers to make sense of huge data sets opens up. Journalist and information architect Mirko Lorenz, quoted in Data-driven Journalism, has this explanation of what data journalism is: Today data-driven journalism can be defined as a workflow, where data is the basis for analysis, visualisation and most importantly storytelling. "With cloud computing, powerful PCs on the desktop and high bandwidth, we all have the potential to use technology to filter and process data that would have been a sensation just 15, 10, maybe even five years ago. Heres his visualisation of how things have changed, reproduced from a pdf report on the Data-driven Journalism conference, which you can download here. You can see from this graphic that there is filtering going on. As in more traditional modes of journalism, our eye on a story, our sifting of the facts and separating them from the falsities, are still vital. And we can sift from facts that are easily available to us, and others that are not the not-so-open data in the graphic. Adam Westbrook, also quoted in Data-driven Journalism, makes clear that working with data is a very traditional journalistic activity: It is journalism in its truest essence: uncovering and mining through information the public do not have enough time to do themselves, interrogating it, and making sense of it before sharing it with the audience. Mirko Lorenz has a second graphic to illustrate that process: Masterclasses Masterclass 20: Getting started in data journalism Data journalism: What it is Data journalism: What it can achieve Data journalism: How to do it Data journalism: How The Guardian does it Data journalism: Tools and data sources How to, project 4: Tableau How to, project 5: ScraperWiki Masterclass 19: Improve your video storytelling Masterclass 18: Drupal website building for non-coders Masterclass 17: A guide to hyperlocal Masterclass 16: Smartphone apps for non-coders Masterclass 15: Lawessential update Masterclass 14: iPhone for Journalism Masterclass 13: Howto get your first job Masterclass 12: Howto build your own job Masterclass 11: Going Mobile Masterclass 8: Search (and everything else) is going social Masterclass 6: Howto master Facebook and Twitter Masterclass 5: Howto win a commission Masterclass 2: Web 3.0 and Social Media Author's Blog Andy publishes a blog with regular news and views on Journalism.
