More data is available to us now than ever, and data journalism, while still a specialism right now, is edging its way towards becoming a core skill.

Aside from helping you understand the stories your data tells, visualising the numbers in front of you can help get the message across to your audience better.

Tiwari offers options from the easy-to-use Datawrapper to more complex libraries that require some code – but there's a recommendation for every need, including mobile-friendly visualisations.
