Plan de métro, taux de chômage ou cours de Bourse : vous êtes probablement souvent confrontés à des représentations graphiques d’information, ou infographies. Mais que vous pensiez les comprendre ou qu’elles vous effraient, certaines de ces représentations vont communiquer un message trompeur – c’est un peu de votre faute, et beaucoup de la nôtre. C’est la thèse que défend Alberto Cairo dans son nouveau livre au titre provocateur, How Charts Lie (Comment les graphiques mentent), à paraître en octobre (en anglais).

En décembre 2011, l’Université de Neuchâtel organisait une magnifique exposition sur l’histoire de la cartographie, infographie, data visualisation (puisque c’est un terme à la mode) - dans le cadre des activités de « l’Académie du journalisme et des médias »

L’exposition a été conçue en collaboration (si je ne me trompe pas) de Michael Stoll, Professeur à l’ « Augsburg University of Applied Sciences (Allemagne) » et aussi prof associé à l’université de Neuchâtel.

A l’occasion du classement de mes archives, j’avais envie de partager avec vous quelques images et quelques liens généraux sur la "visualisation des données, en complément de ce que nous commençons à publier sur nos chers précurseurs (Otto Neurath, Jacques Bertin, Charles-Joseph Minard). Une manière de regrouper un peu d’intelligence cartographique dans un même lieu pour accéder facilement aux références.

Inaugurate: bringing Search trends to the speeches that shaped presidencies

As the 45th President of the United States gets sworn in this week, we thought it would be interesting to set Presidential Inauguration speeches in context — who is the top trending president? What speeches have been most popular over the years? That is where Inaugurate comes in.

Inaugurate is an interactive guide to presidential inauguration speeches through the lens of Google Search, built by Jan Willem Tulp of Tulp Interactive in connection with the Google News Lab and art director Alberto Cairo.

f Donald Trump’s inaugural address is anything like his predecessors’, there will be a lot of God in it.

A new interactive built by GoogleNews Labs shows that God was the most common theme mentioned by presidents in the 11 most searched inaugural addresses.

Trump has been unconventional in many ways, including the fact that unlike many politicians, he does not habitually end his speeches with “... and God bless the United States of America.” But for the inaugural address, a reference to the almighty is pretty much a baseline requirement, particularly since Trump was elected with strong support from evangelical voters.

How is the world searching for the US Presidential Election? A Data Visualisation from the Google News Lab. | Simon Rogers

The US Presidential election is not just being watched in America. From Indiana to India, each development is being intently followed by people across the globe.

Those people are also searching about the election online — and that’s whereworldpotus.com comes in.

Along with Accurat, a design group headed by Gabriele Rossi, Simone Quadri and Giorgia Lupi (of Dear Data fame), we built a data visualisation that shows search interest in the U.S. Presidential candidates and top political issues. The data viz is part of a series of experiments to work with great designers to find new ways of using Google data in newsrooms.

The Functional Art: An Introduction to Information Graphics and Visualization: Now more than ever: Call out data and visualization bullshit

▻http://www.thefunctionalart.com/2016/11/now-more-than-ever-call-out.html

C’est Alberto Cairo qui le dit :)

https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-58jl8jb02hQ/WCXBZCkpJDI/AAAAAAAAHbU/B6ygHEeU2jM4smBgfo52rLrORpKOfCdRgCLcB/w1200-h630-p-nu/1.png

After the results of the election, we’re going to witness a shit storm of bad data and misleading graphics, coming from all directions. If you follow this blog, if you’ve read my books, you already know where I stand: Every single one of us has a responsibility to call out bullshit, and to fight against it with reason and evidence, regardless of what agenda that bullshit is trying to push. We mustn’t sit on the fence and witness the deluge of misinformation in ironic silence. That’s irresponsible.

How Donald Trump Took Over the Republican Party: United States of Trump - NBC News

A year after Donald Trump launched his presidential bid, and against all expectations, the business mogul is the presumptive GOP nominee. Who supported him? How did he take over a Republican Party whose leaders almost uniformly opposed him? And will the GOP ever be the same? NBC News crunched polling and election data and conducted dozens of interviews with supporters, critics and party leaders of all stripes for a series of stories explaining the phenomenon that defined 2016. In chapter one, we look at Trump’s voters: Where they live, what they want, and how their deep unease with a changing America fueled a political revolution.

The Functional Art: An Introduction to Information Graphics and Visualization: The Truthful Art book

“Alberto Cairo is widely acknowledged as journalism’s preeminent visualization wiz. He is also journalism’s preeminent data scholar. As newsrooms rush to embrace data journalism as a new tool—and toy—Cairo sets the standard for how data should be understood, analyzed, and presented. The Truthful Art is both a manifesto and a manual for how to use data to accurately, clearly, engagingly, imaginatively, beautifully, and reliably inform the public.”
— Jeff Jarvis, professor at CUNY Graduate School of Journalism and author of Geeks Bearing Gifts: Imagining New Futures for News

“A feast for both the eyes and mind, Alberto Cairo’s The Truthful Art deftly explores the science—and art—of data visualization. The book is a must-read for scientists, educators, journalists, and just about anyone who cares about how to communicate effectively in the information age.”
— Michael E. Mann, Distinguished Professor, Penn State University and author of The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars

In January 2015, a few months before the British general election, a proud newspaper resigned itself to the view that little good could come from the use of statistics by politicians. An editorial in the Guardian argued that in a campaign that would be “the most fact-blitzed in history”, numerical claims would settle no arguments and persuade no voters. Not only were numbers useless for winning power, it added, they were useless for wielding it, too. Numbers could tell us little. “The project of replacing a clash of ideas with a policy calculus was always dubious,” concluded the newspaper. “Anyone still hankering for it should admit their number’s up.”

Nightingale’s ’Coxcombs’ | Understanding Uncertainty
▻http://understandinguncertainty.org/coxcombs

Through her work as a nurse in the Crimean War, was a pioneer in establishing the importance of sanitation in hospitals. She meticulously gathered data on relating death tolls in hospitals to cleanliness, and, because of her novel methods of communicating this data, she was also a pioneer in applied statistics. We explore the work of Nightingale, and in particular focus on her use of certain graphs which, following misreading of her work, are now commonly known as ’coxcombs’.

Effective infographics can still be fun In his new book on information graphics and data visualization, Alberto Cairo uses examples like this map of Chinese worldwide exports by Italy’s Il Sole 24 ORE to show how informative graphics can still be beautiful and entertaining. “Infographics can be lush, colorful, and fun if their designers don’t forget that their fundamental goal is to make the public better informed,” Cairo writes.

The data visualization expert argues that FiveThirtyEight and Vox have overpromised and underdelivered — and that they need to treat their data with more scientific rigor.
