There is a new focus on “data stories.”

Creating a single data visualization can have great impact. But, more companies are beginning to create custom website experiences that tell a more complete story using many types of data and visualization methods.

Enigma Labs released the world’s first Sanctions Tracker earlier this year, a data story that contextualizes and communicates over twenty years of U.S. sanctions data as meaningful information. Look in 2018 for more custom experiences that use maps and other mediums of data visualization to communicate complex issues.
