Absolutely brilliant premise for a book and so excited to get a copy. Its the book I would have wanted to write but am so glad that Tiziana has done it instead!

Hey #datafam, I’m proud to tell you that my first book “Absent Data: Why Gaps, Uncertainty, and Invisible Data Matter” is available for pre-orders! 🔗 www.tizianaalocci.com/absent-data-... ...and to discover more: substack.com/@tizianaaloc... Stay tuned for updates, book launch parties & more!

This is the first public one-day/Fundamentals course I've run since December 2024, with two-day/Masterclasses being more in demand, but I thought it was long overdue to offer this length of training for those who can only get sign-off for this price and for taking one day out the office.

Whether you're new to data viz or seeking to make a leap forward in your craft, the value of training is huge. Come join my next public training event, the 1-day 'Fundamentals of Data Visualisation' taking place at Flourish HQ in London on Tuesday 24 November. visualisingdata.com/2026/09/new-...

NEW TRAINING Typography plays a crucial role in how we read, understand, and engage with data. In this hands-on training with Eleni Beveratou, we'll explore how typefaces can shape the hierarchy, clarity, and character of a data visualisation. December 1 & 2, Utrecht graphichunters.nl/typography/

I know you're supposed to play the game with LinkedIn posts - use certain prose, include photos, not using so-called low-value URLs, garnering early likes/reposts - but to see a post is only getting served to 2.9% of followers (who presumably chose to follow) suggests its a fairly useless platform

I keep getting served this wretched ad on different sites for blood-soak-patterned tops, yet when you give feedback to say its inappropriate, a reload just brings it straight back. Not a great look for the BBC homepage to have these come up beneath a story of a pilot being stabbed.

The Guardian’s Visual & Data Journalism team is expanding! We have three exciting new roles, and we're looking for people who can help us push the boundaries of how we find, report and tell stories. 🧵⬇️
