I've learned the most effective #datajournalism is sometimes the simplest, boiling down the big story to just a few (often small) numbers that clearly tell the audience what's going on.

A picture of Epstein’s network that fails to mention Trump is a misleading picture.
Yet that is what The Economist achieved in this article.

Great #datajournalism story here, but these two quotes pretty succinctly sum up the larger, problematic trend here: ultra-wealthy individuals want to *live in the city* but are willing to pay tens of millions to avoid *city living,* where they have to actually share space with neighbors/the public.

The #Economist managed to write an article about #Epstein’s networks without a single mention of #Trump?
Not even to point out that Trump blocked the release of emails so that the LLM has only the Trump-approved emails to analyze?
Subscribers even receive the link in their emai!

U.S. bubble map displaying data center counts by state. Virginia has the largest concentration, highlighted prominently, while Texas shows a major cluster. Smaller clusters appear across California, the Midwest and the Northeast.

Virginia’s dominance could be challenged by states with lower infrastructure costs.

Emerging markets like Texas, Tennessee, Ohio and Wisconsin could intensify competition

A line chart showing annual London Fire Brigade animal‑rescue callouts from 2010 to 2025, with separate lines for different animal categories. Cats rise sharply after 2019, while the others remain relatively stable with only modest increases. The chart highlights that the post‑pandemic surge in total callouts is driven primarily by a single animal group.

There has been a post pandemic boom in animal rescue callouts for the London Fire Brigade - most of this driven by cats with more than 800 rescues in 2025

After four rounds, Adarsh and Sisco achieved victory with 52.9% of the vote. For the first three rounds, they trailed Hu and Cohrs by less than one percentage point, but they received a large number of votes following the third-round elimination of McCormick sophomore Nicholas Johnson and SESP junior Nur Yalinbas. Below is a Sankey diagram showing the vote distribution.

#DataJournalism in @thedailynu.bsky.social today: Ahead of the primary in March, Northwestern held a small, ranked-choice election for our student government president. Its election commissioner shared a wealth of data with me and my colleague Max Turetzky.

We found it was a _competitive_ race.

Tight Ends have the largest disparity in pro bowl 'rate' when comparing first round vs second round picks in the NFL, with 51% of first round TEs making at least one pro bowl in their career vs just 14% of second round TEs

We all know first-round picks are more valuable. Here is the data to prove it. With Super Bowl Sunday fast approaching it marks the end of the grand end to the NFL season, a celebrity showcase with a side of football.

With Super Bowl sunday fast approaching, and endless NFL draft content to come in the following weeks, I decided to explore the comparative success of first round picks in the NFL draft
