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.
