Just a reminder: #dataviz isn't intrinsically good or bad. Like other forms of communication, it can -and will- be used for propaganda as well.
By the way, the photo is from 2012.

Trump announces new tariffs, but the communication choice is questionable: a big table full of numbers instead of a chart. Some tariffs even apply to uninhabited places. Always double-check data, even when it looks 'professional.'

How big is #Greenland really? 🌍
Maps often show Greenland as massive, almost as big as Africa. But in reality, Africa is 14x larger! This distortion comes from the Mercator projection, which enlarges areas near the poles.

This offers a fascinating perspective from both #dataviz and data collection standpoints.
It’s a great example of how the way we choose to communicate data can shift its interpretive "frame."
