I like the concept a lot, but aren't the newsroom outsourcing their due diligence to a company that may not have the same standards (or lack of) as their own? If I'm NYT (hint I'm not) why would I trust you to provide data that is the central point of my narrative and what if that data goes the other way as time progress?
- saigal 6y agoEvery data visualization that HiGeorge publishes is reproducible using the Associated Press data guidelines (Link below, note that acct creation may be required). This means that anyone (journalist, editor, even the reader) can easily verify that the data is accurate and can assess for themselves whether the data source is reputable. Each of our data visualizations is connected to a data feed so that it is always up to date. They are of the "set if and forget it" variety. https://www.apstylebook.com/ap_stylebook?az_chapter=80&other_chapter=119&selected_tag=9#chapter_other_tab https://www.apstylebook.com/ap_stylebook?az_chapter=80&other...
