    47: Charts Can Lie, But Here's How You Remain Vigilant - Featuring Alberto Cairo Oct 08, 2019
    Show notes

    It's no secret that some charts lie. You might be thinking that only a subset of people who maliciously create a chart to serve their interests are guilty of this, but the truth is, there are many ways in which a chart can lie.

    You can make a mistake in your design, or use data that's insufficient, or make conclusions that aren't accurate. I'm guilty of this, and guess what… so is Alberto Cairo! He wrote a whole book on How Charts Lie based on his experience creating and reading charts.

    In this episode, I finally got to ask Alberto's opinion on some burning questions that I have, like

    • how he personally reads charts to assess their quality,
    • how he'd structure a graphics team today to make sure they create quality graphics, and
    • where he thinks we'll be fighting misinformation in the coming years.
    • Most importantly, he explains why we shouldn't throw up our hands and give up on charts even when some mislead us.

    - Introspectiveness
