Since no one chart can do everything, it is important to understand how to choose the appropriate type of chart to tell your data story with. Using an incorrect chart will confuse your audience and muddle your message. This webinar will delve into six essential data stories that data communicators should know along with charts that are appropriate for telling those stories with. It will also discuss specific chart design considerations for successful communication.

This webinar is part of the Equitable Data Visualization webinar series, sponsored by the California State Library and Pacific Library Partnership. For information about the other webinars in the series, please visit this link: https://www.library.ca.gov/services/to-libraries/ccl/webinars/
