It's All About Data

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.

_ Simon Rogers _

SOME OF WORK

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.

Here I am, after a long time, to update this blog with new vizzes!

What are the most visited regions and provinces in Italy? Starting from the data released by the Bank of Italy, which has been conducting an annual survey of tourism since 1996, I tried to find value in the data with an interactive graphic.

This time I used a Snowflake Chart, a useful graph when you want to visualize herarchies. I went through this kind of visualization thanks to Ken Flerlage and his blog, where I explained how to build it.

This Viz was published on InfoData Blog - Il Sole 24 Ore, at this link:
