By using data as a foundation of its journalistic practices, the State of Democracy team is able to use visuals such as charts and infographics to tell more complete stories about policy, budget projections, voter demographics, and key issues surrounding elections and legislation. Data mapping is especially effective when it comes to reporting heated issues surrounded by talking points, as the visualization of data can serve as critical resource for media fact-checkers and news consumers alike.
