Abstract:
|
Data visualizations in the non-profit sector encompass a wide range of formats, including static charts, interactive dashboards, maps, infographic reports, newsletters, and tweets. These cover a variety of topics, including health, public opinion, social problems, and geographic data, and are built using many tools, such as html, JavaScript, R, D3, PowerPoint, and Illustrator. Audiences include government clients, policy makers, news outlets, social media, researchers, and the general public. Panelists will discuss the tools, dissemination formats, audience considerations, obstacles, and best practices that go into a collection of data graphics. The panel discusses presenting over 40 years of social survey data from the General Social Survey (https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/, Rene Bautista); applying communication principles to qualitative data visualization and infographics (https://www.norc.org/Research/Projects/Pages/norc-numbers.aspx, Kiegan Rice); making geographic data understandable, using drug overdose data as an example (https://opioidmisusetool.norc.org/, Peter Herman); and digging into a COVID-19 data story (https://mcbs-covid.norc.org/, Patrick Coyle).
