How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

97. In Summary
✦ Data Visualisation isn’t just about making pretty charts,
it has its own language.
✦ Making your visualisation more accessible and seen by
more people is good. But if it miscommunicates, it can be
worse than not being seen at all.
✦ Data can be cold, add emotion to humanise your story.
✦ Design should happen before data is processed.
✦ Who, What, Why, How?
