DDJ goes Social Media

A short list: Bringing data-journalism to social media

1. Teaser Chart
   • static or gif
   • simplified chart (take out the complex stuff)
2. Chart-driven explainer
   • Twitter-Thread / Image Galleries / IG Stories
   • One or more charts with explanation
   • Watch out for good SLAT at the start
   • Throw in other visuals, links
3. Chart explainer stories (Instagram)
   • Explain methodology well
   • Slides to guide through story
   • Add quizzes, interactivity
4. Presenter-driven explainer
5. Data-driven explainer
   • Longer form videos
   • Use data points as protagonists
6. Overall
   • Charts need to be self explanatory, they will be taken out of context
   • Think of Social Media early
