Nathalie Henry Riche. Data-Driven Storytelling

CRC Press, 2018. — 315 p. — ISBN: 1138197106.This book presents an accessible introduction to data-driven storytelling. Resulting from unique discussions between data visualization researchers and data journalists, it offers an integrated definition of the topic, presents vivid examples and patterns for data storytelling, and calls out key challenges and new opportunities for researchers and practitioners.Today, data visualizations are everywhere. They form a significant and often integral part of contemporary media. Stories supported by facts extracted from data analysis proliferate in many different ways in our analog and digital environments including printed infographics in magazines, animated images shared on social media, and interactive online visualizations tightly integrated with news stories on leading media outlets. However, while data visualization may be at the heart of data-driven stories, the concepts are not synonymous. We explore these distinctions in this book.
