Communicating with Visual Analytics

Visual analytics are useful tools for both developing insights and persuasive communication. Choose an article from the Wall Street Journal that incorporates a visual analytic graphic. Identify the type of visual representation used (e.g. scatterplot), and describe how the visualization is used as a persuasive tool. Would alternative visualizations or choices have been more effective? See page 107 of the Davenport & Kim book for a list of visual analytic types.
