But editing a news graphic isn't like editing a story, and especially in small newsroom, you might be the person with the most data visualization experience in the room. Your editor might not know what a Marimekko chart is, but probably knows how to vet a story for clarity and flow. There's no inverted triangle or nut graf, but your graphic is telling a story.\n\nWe'll use this session to create a checklist that guides an editor through questions to ask about a graphic \u2014 how well it's communicating its message, and what it could be doing better.", "facilitators": "Andrea Suozzo, Justin Myers", "break": "", "everyone": "", "facilitators_twitter": "", "length": "75 minutes", "notepad": "", "room": "", "talk": "", "timeblock": "thu-4pm", "transcription": "", "event_dtstart": "2020-07-16T16:00:00", "event_dtend": "2020-07-16T17:15:00", "event_tzid": "America/New_York", "event_uid": "srccon-2020/thu-editors-dataviz"}
