The Data Dude: Charts of 2015

Gold Guy Surfing On Business ReportsAs 2015 comes to an end, it’s time to show some of the most misleading charts of the year. This serves multiple purposes; a bit of comic relief and to illustrate how a much more cogent display of the data would have looked (the link below shows both the misleading charts and then fixes to them). While the Dude would like to say that he compiled this list; instead kudos goes out to Keith Collins from Quartz, a digitally native news outlet. According to the Quartz website, they publish “bracingly creative and intelligent journalism with a broad worldview, built primarily for the devices closest at hand: tablets and mobile phones.” Keith’s article is called Axis of Evil: The most misleading charts of 2015, fixed. Shaka, Keith.
