Lessons From “Behind The Bloodshed”

From the post:

Source has published a fantastic interview with the makers of Behind The Bloodshed, a visual narrative about mass killings produced by USA Today.

The entire interview with Anthony DeBarros is definitely worth a read but here are some highlights and commentary.

A synopsis of data issues in the production of “Behind The Bloodshed.”

Great visuals, as you would expect from USA Today.

A good illustration of simplifying a series of complex events for persuasive purposes.

That’s not a negative comment.

What other purpose would communication have if not to “persuade” others to act and/or believe as we wish?

I first saw this in a tweet by Bryan Connor.
