Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. So what can data journalists do to help audiences understand this complex issue and help evade audience apathy? Powering your climate stories with visualisation is one way to awaken emotion and inspire change. To delve further into this, we caught up with information designer Duncan Geere, data journalist Pei Ying Loh from The Kontinentalist, and visual journalist Rodolfo Almeida from Nucleo. They talk us through their climate stories and share their best practices for visualising climate solutions journalism.

Episode 54: Conversation with Duncan Geere, Pei Ying Loh and Rodolfo Almeida

Data visualization remains at the forefront as Dr. Alberto Cairo from the University of Miami guides us beyond numerical figures, exploring the art of weaving compelling narratives through data. In his book, "The Art of Insight," he reveals the varied motivations driving visualization experts and highlights the serene, meditative process inherent in crafting visualizations. Emphasizing the fusion of scientific principles and personal style for effective data communication, Dr. Cairo also discusses with Jon the impending impact of AI on both interactive and static graphics.

741: How to Visualize Data Effectively, with Prof. Alberto Cairo

Imagina esto: tienes todos tus datos frente a ti, pero te falta algo para que esos números cobren vida. Para que dejen de ser simples cifras y se conviertan en historias que hablen. Aquí es donde entran dos herramientas fundamentales en Tableau: capas y elementos flotantes. Son esos detalles invisibles para la mayoría, pero que pueden transformar por completo una visualización de datos en algo que realmente conecta.

Las capas y elementos flotantes no son solo funcionalidades, son tus aliados creativos para hacer que tus datos cuenten la historia correcta, de la manera correcta. Vamos a desglosar cómo puedes utilizarlos para llevar tus visualizaciones al siguiente nivel.
