Scroll 3 minutes into the video and you can see how he used low-tech paper to explain what would happen if we pay down the debt. No fancy graphics needed.

The visualization part starts about 2 minutes in to the video. Unfortunately, the sound and shaky camera make it difficulty to follow but it is an interest experiment in using infodesign to facilitate the conversation around fiscal policy.

Created by Andrew Garcia Phillips, Stephen Grocer and Kate Milani.

    Wall Street Journal_CrisisTimeline

    I think the visual display of the data is very effective however the rollover text annotations are not effective since you can’t use them to follow the underlining story in the data visualization.

    While I appreciate Google Finance integrating the news story with the graphic which allows you to use the data visualization find related news stories you lose the different data series and there still is no coherent story for the graphic.

    Google Finance DJIA

    Still, I have found the most effective storytelling using data visualizations uses a person to narrate the story.
