Everything revolves around data, and more so every day. My work too.


WHY FREE DATA

"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two makes four. If that is granted, all else follows"

___ George Orwell, 1984 ___

WHY DEVELOP NEW SKILLS

“Every skill you don’t have leaves a whole class of stories out of your reach. And data stories are usually the ones that are hiding in plain sight.”

___ Scott Klein ___

BE A JOURNALIST IN A DATA DRIVEN WORLD

"But having an open data portal doesn’t automatically make you a haven of freedom – even Bahrain and Saudi Arabia now have open data portals. [...] This is where data journalists come in – by exposing and interrogating the data, we can test how accurate it is, mash it up with other datasets to produce results that tell you something new about the news.

UK workers at risk of being replaced by robots

According to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), an international network operating in 158 countries, about 30% of UK jobs will be potentially threatened in the coming years by innovations in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Lower than that of the United States and Germany, respectively 38% and 35%, but higher than that of Japan, to 21%.

Andy Kriebel and Eva Murray gave us an interesting dataset during the MakeOverMonday's week 14, about the situation of millions of UK workers at risk of being replaced by robots in the next years.

I used a simple trick to create this Viz, but I don't want to talk of this now. Since September I will update this blog with some Tableau tutorials, tips and tricks.

Also this Viz was published with my article on Info Data Blog - Il Sole 24 Ore, at this link:

The article was also chosen for the Top Ten #ddj: The Week’s Most Popular Data Journalism Links selected by the Global Investigative Journalism Network.

On October 3, 2017 this Viz has been included in the Information is Beautiful Awards longlist: https://www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/showcase/2411-which-uk-workers-are-most-at-risk-of-being-replaced-by-robots

The Secret Of Success

MakeOverMonday Week 13, a weekly social data project promoted by Andy Kriebel and Eva Murray.
Representatives of different social strata were asked the same question: "What are the main reason of success?" Poor need to change their life approach primarily, as it is evident from their responses.

All started from this infographic. 



The challenge was to transform it in a Tableau Viz, interesting and interactive. Also this time I tried a creative approach, without being afraid to broke the best practices. I created a simple viz, A chart with side-by-side shapes, trying to simulate a climb. 

How to reach the top? Play with my Viz to discover what different social strata think about the answer at this question.

Valentine's Day

My second Make Over Monday is dedicated to Valentine's Day. I started from a dataset released for this social data experiment, created with data of the National Retail Foundation. The dataset looks at how much do Americans spend at Valentine's Day.
I tried a new visual metaphor for this dataviz. Two roses, one red for the people Americans spend for, one blue for the favorite gifts. On the leaf there are written the year to which the data relate.

#MakeOverMonday: Employment Growth in G7

For the first time I was involved in a weekly social data project called MakeOverMonday. Each week they post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you can rework the chart. The curiosity is to see if someone else can retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data.

What I liked the most of this week is the challenge to make something esthetically pleasing and creative from a little dataset. Proving that we don't necessarily need a lot of data to create something beatiful and carry out significant informations.

This one was the dataset:


I choose to use a waffle chart to visualize this data. I was tired of cake charts and bar charts, and I've never used this kind of graph. So I looked at this post of Andy Kriebel, and downloaded the template for the grid layout here.

At the end I modified the first dataset a bit, to add the lines in the middle of my Viz.
This is the dataset modified:


The dataviz was published on InfoData - Il Sole 24 Ore at this link:
