Graphs and charts of data are commonly used to capture details on business performance, COVID-19 infection and death rates, demographics, environmental changes, and much more. Data is essential to communication and decision-making.

There are many graphic examples of news outlets, individuals, and organizations utilizing data to convey information and to support an argument. Look for a current example. In your first post, share the image with your readers and cover these three points:

• Describe the example. What is the data communicating? Why is it used?
• Did the data help communicate the intended message? Why or why not?
• Discuss whether the data built trust and credibility, and explain your opinion.

Remember to show the graphic or provide the link to it.
