Making of Defense Against Dishonest Charts

This is the Process, the newsletter for FlowingData members about understanding data and passing up the defaults. I’m Nathan Yau. Last week, I published Defense Against Dishonest Charts (made possible by members), an interactive guide on reading charts, spotting the misleading ones, and visualizing data honestly. I had an itch to scratch.

To access this issue of The Process, you must be a member. (If you are already a member, log in here.)

The Process is a weekly newsletter on how visualization tools, rules, and guidelines work in practice. I publish every Thursday. Get it in your inbox or read it on FlowingData.

You also gain unlimited access to hundreds of hours worth of step-by-step visualization courses and tutorials, which will help you make sense of data for insight and presentation. Resources include source code and datasets so that you can more easily apply what you learn in your own work.

Your support keeps the rest of FlowingData open and assures the data keeps flowing freely.
