Check out this advice to help you create captivating data stories
In a conversation with Alberto Cairo, the Knight Chair in visual journalism at the University of Miami, Simon Rogers, Google Trends data editor, shared some advice abut what makes a data visualisation stand out.
The conversation was part of Google News Lab's monthly Data Visualisation Round Up and is available in full on YouTube, but you can also read a summary of the highlights here by Luke Barratt, MA Interactive Journalism student at City, University of London.
