One of the key goals at Venngage is to encourage the use of data visualizations to enhance the story-telling process. We are big proponents of data-driven journalism (or data journalism, for short) and we’re happy to see big leaps in public demand for blogs such as fivethirtyeight and NYT’s Upshot.
We would like to encourage other bloggers, publishers and news outlets to use charts and infographics in their stories as well. To that end, we’re releasing a series of Ebola infographics and charts. This week, we’re focusing on Ebola.
