Targeting a wider public – storytelling with statistical data
Zsolt Czinkos, (Email)
Hungarian Central Statistical Office, Budapest

Reaching a wider public with statistical data is difficult. Smartphones and increasing mobile bandwidth are changing user expectations. Statistical visualizations should meet the standards of current user experience. The Hungarian Central Statistical Office has started to create interactive storytelling infographics and data visualizations to highlight interesting facts, to explain terms, to show results – to improve statistical literacy. Creating customised story visualizations is challenging. It requires cooperation between people from different domains: software development, statistics, communication, management, visualization. It also needs software tools. Publishing to both mobile and desktop environment requires responsive design and cross-browser compatibility. Tools exist, but development is expensive. Is it worth it? Number of visitors should be measured, feedback should be received. This presentation offers insight into the development process of a published interactive storytelling visualization highlighting technical details.
