Rationale Unlike any time before in our lives, we have access to vast amounts of free information––a phenomena scholars refer to as " big data.

By transforming numbers into graphical shapes and interactive web apps, we can allow users to understand the stories those numbers hide. This process of gaining new insights from data and crafting visual stories to convey that data in an accessible and engaging format is part of what we call " data journalism " –– a specialty subset of journalism that reflects the increased role that numerical data is used in the production and distribution of information in the digital era.
A talk given to the editorial staff of The Cluster, the student newspaper of Mercer University.
