The Data Vis Dispatch is back in its regular format! 💫 This week is short, with a focus on Venezuela. You'll also find retrospectives on 2025, as well as people's resolutions for 2026.
A map of the world with a flowchart overlay showing the destinations of Venezuelan oil. Each flow starts in Venezuela and leads to a destination country. The thicker the line and the larger the dot in a country, the more oil that country receives. Most oil arrives in the US (35%) and Asia (32%). Published by RTVE. A icon array of cars from the top. This is the initial view of an interactive article published by The New York Times. Most of the cars appear in grey, while some are colored green. The green ones represent the 11 percent of cars that did not enter Manhattan's central business district due to congestion pricing implemented in 2025. Five pictorial cups containing different vegetables, such as carrots or tomatoes. Below is an interactive slider showing the recommended daily serving size. Users should enter their desired serving amount. The interactive article provides feedback on whether this is enough and suggests an appropriate amount. Published by the Washington Post. This is a map of a section of Venezuela with neighboring bodies of water and countries. U.S. military deployments are marked on the map with ship and plane icons. Pictures of the different types of naval and air forces, along with the number of stationed forces and the name, are shown below the map. Published by El País.
