Storytelling has serious traditions in every culture. Myths, legends, tales, poems, folk songs all show the endeavour <strong>humans have always had to connect to each other<\/strong>, to people from other cultures and to the next generations.<\/p>\n<p>In our interconnected, globalized world, there\u2019s a <strong>more significant need than ever<\/strong> for the kind of <strong>human connection and understanding that storytelling can convey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>New technologies such as the <strong>big data revolution<\/strong>, <strong>data visualization<\/strong>, and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/google-analytics-data-tips\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data analytics tools<\/a> allow us to raise the quality of our stories by backing them up with relevant data.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the most popular form of data storytelling is infographics, but more and more websites use data stories and visual data to convey its message more effectively and engage their audiences on a deeper level.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we will take a look at how data storytelling works in practice and how it can help you to make your writing more persuasive and authentic.<\/p>\n<h2>How Data Storytelling can level-up your writing<\/h2>\n<p>Data need stories, and stories need data. Data without stories are <strong>dull<\/strong>, <strong>bare<\/strong>, and it\u2019s <strong>hard to make sense<\/strong> of them. Stories without data are <strong>less trustworthy<\/strong> and might be seen as if they were just arbitrary made up.<\/p>\n<p>If we use data to back up our stories, we can prevent presumptions of being inaccurate or that we manipulate our data. <strong>Well-chosen data can serve as proof<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Data storytelling or data journalism is a new form of written communication in which <strong>the author analyzes a large data set and filters out the relevant part<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, data storytellers transform big data into small data to <strong>find the accurate and digestible data set that they can use to illustrate their story the best<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, data storytelling is such a big thing nowadays that this summer Google launched a new product under the name of Google News Lab to support it.<\/p>\n<p>Google News Lab explains quite accurately <strong>how data-driven storytelling can level up the quality of your writing<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cNew platforms and technologies have opened up the playing field for reporting, and journalists and entrepreneurs are developing more dynamic, engaging, and powerful ways to tell stories than ever before\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, data storytelling is not only restricted to journalists, but everyone who needs to convey a message, such as copywriters, designers, marketers, and bloggers.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/improve-writing-quality\/skills-of-data-storyteller.jpg?newedit\" alt=\"Skills of a Data Storyteller\" width=\"700\" height=\"428\"><\/figure>\n<h2>How to find relevant data<\/h2>\n<p>We are lucky as these days there are many resources out there that weren\u2019t available previously for the public.<\/p>\n<p>Just think about <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/opendatahandbook.org\/guide\/en\/what-is-open-data\/\">open data<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/oaacademy.org\/why-open-access\/\">open access publishing, <\/a>or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-online-courses\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course)<\/a> that <strong>ship high-quality and accessible knowledge to all parts of the world<\/strong>. As the world is full of information, finding the relevant data is more and more a \u201cneedle in a haystack\u201d kind of problem.<\/p>\n<p>The first task of data storytelling is to find the needle you need (the small dataset) in a vast haystack of data. You need a needle that matches the thread (the narrative) of the story so you can use them together to sew a valid and robust piece (the data story) that you or your client can happily wear.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, the data you find <strong>need to be trustworthy<\/strong>. The internet is full of misinformation, so you have to be cautious. Sometimes you can find the right information and useful hints in blog posts and forums, but these sources are better double-checked and backed up with other alternate sources.<\/p>\n<p>The more prominent and more reputable a data source is, the better. University web sites, open access journals, national statistics offices such as the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/\">British Office for National Statistics<\/a>, big reputable organizations such as the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/\">American Federal Reserve<\/a>, or international organizations such as the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/\">UN<\/a> usually serve information and a knowledge base that is reliable and trusted by the vast majority of people.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/improve-writing-quality\/office-for-national-stats.jpg?newedit\" alt=\"office for national stats\" width=\"1000\" height=\"569\"><\/figure>\n<p>Google News Lab has several instructional videos about how to use Google\u2019s different tools to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newslab.withgoogle.com\/process\/research\">find the relevant data<\/a> you need to be a reliable and exciting data storyteller.<\/p>\n<p>Here we mention three courses that we think are the most useful, but you can find information about many other <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsinitiative.withgoogle.com\/training\/tools\">Google Tools<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsinitiative.withgoogle.com\/training\/courses\">Courses<\/a> of Google News Lab.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Advanced Search<\/h3>\n<p>Google\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsinitiative.withgoogle.com\/training\/lesson\/4891728658038784?tool=Google%20Search\">Advanced Search<\/a> feature enables you to research with precision. If you click on the little gear icon on Google\u2019s home page, you can select the \u201cAdvanced Search\u201d option that takes you to the Advanced Search screen where you can fine-tune your search query.<\/p>\n<p>You can search for the exact phrase, omit certain words, narrow your search based on language, region, domain, last update and file type, and there are many other options that can lead you to the most accurate dataset.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/improve-writing-quality\/google-advanced-search.jpg?newedit\" alt=\"Google Advanced Search\" width=\"700\" height=\"370\"><\/figure>\n<h3>2. Public Data Explorer<\/h3>\n<p>Google\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsinitiative.withgoogle.com\/training\/lesson\/5364475976744960?course=data-journalism\">Public Data Explorer<\/a> is a handy <strong>data research and data visualization tool<\/strong>. It aggregates datasets from trusted sources such as the World Bank or the Eurostat, and lets you monitor change over time, and compare metrics based on region, industry, country, gender, and many other variables.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose from many data visualization options such as line charts, bar charts, map charts, and bubble charts. You can even save the datasets you created in your Google Profile, so that you can return to them later. You can reach Public Data Explorer <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/publicdata\/directory\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/improve-writing-quality\/google-public-data.jpg?newedit\" alt=\"Google Public Data Explorer\" width=\"700\" height=\"381\"><\/figure>\n<h3>3. Google Trends<\/h3>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.com\/trends\/\">Google Trends<\/a> lets you explore different topics, and under its \"Trending Stories\" section, you can see<strong> which queries are the most searched on Google<\/strong> at that time. You can use this handy tool to see how the interest for a specific term has changed over time, and you can compare the popularity of different names, too.<\/p>\n<p>You can also find the geographical regions where the given search term was the most popular, and Google Trends even offers the option to take a look at related searches. Google Trends has many cool use cases, for example, The Washington Post used it to produce a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/wonkblog\/wp\/2014\/12\/03\/the-google-misery-index-the-times-of-year-were-most-depressed-anxious-and-stressed\/\">Daily Misery Index<\/a> by analyzing depression-related search terms throughout the year.<\/p>\n<h2>How to find the right tools<\/h2>\n<p>After you have found the appropriate data, you need to visualize them. Public Data Explorer and Google Trends visualize data on the go, so if you use them, you don\u2019t have to worry about how to present them to your visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Google Maps also enables you to visualize geolocation-based data quickly. We have a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/google-maps-styles\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">great tutorial<\/a> here on hongkiat.com about how to customize Google Maps to create interactive and information-rich maps that you can embed into your website.<\/p>\n<p>Google has another cool geo-based data visualization tool called <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/earth.google.com\/web\/versions\/#earth-pro\">Google Earth Pro<\/a> that was made free by Google. Google Earth Pro is not an online tool; you have to download it to your computer. The software provides you with a 3D interactive globe with sophisticated data visualization, analysis, and drawing tools.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/improve-writing-quality\/google-earth-pro.jpg?newedit\" alt=\"Google Earth Pro\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the earliest days of humanity, people have told stories to each other in different forms.
