What is Data Storytelling?
First things first, you’re probably wondering - what is a data story? We start by looking at a definition of data storytelling and how it works as a tool to encourage data-driven decision making within a business. Then, we take a closer look at the three key pillars of a data story - insights, visualizations, and narrative - and demonstrate how they work together to build an effective data story.

Why Are Data Stories Effective?
Now we’ve looked at the three pillars that come together to make a data story, we explore how they all work together to deliver the ‘three E’s’ - explain, enlighten, and engage. To understand how this all fits together, we take a look at a practical example of a data story in action, before finishing with a brief look at why it’s so important that you make sure your stories are based on valid data insights.
