Data Vis Dispatch, May 9
Welcome back to the 93rd edition of Data Vis Dispatch! Every week, we’ll be publishing a collection of the best small and large data visualizations we find, especially from news organizations — to celebrate data journalism, data visualization, simple charts, elaborate maps, and their creators.
The Dispatch will go on a break next Tuesday, so take your time with this one — recurring topics include the pandemic economic recovery and animated maps.
