Activists and journalists will need to find data and join the dots together
themselves: only rarely will the complete picture land on their desks. ….

- Find a story
Make sure you have a story to tell and be passionate about, you are

the 2 things are really great!
They all include emotions and your voice or angle .
When this is clear , then you can get hands on.

6. Analysis.
How to look ...

7. - Investigate your data with a critical eye
See the big Picture , All the elements involve
- What data do you have?
- What do you want to know about your data?
- What visualization methods should you use?
- What do you see and does it makes sense?
The context

9. The details
When you find
something interesting,
ask yourself: Does it
make sense? Why ?
Observations can stand out
because of human or
mechanical error, because of
the uncertainty of estimated
values, or because there was a
person or thing that stood out
from the rest. You should know
which it is.
