A basic title should cover the name of the area under study and the subject of the study, e.g. “Albany PILOT Tax Abatements”. We want to put structure and conventions around the Page/Story naming - consistency makes it easier for the author, the searchability/findability, and understandability to the reader.

Frequently dilapidated, sometimes merely obviously vacant, the red X assists emergency services workers in knowing which buildings are vacant and potentially hazardous. The red X also conveys blight and is frequently the ire of the neighborhood. Red X buildings can exist in the middle of upscale neighb..."

As we will point out in numerous places a data story does not need to be an exposé. Rather a data story should inform, educate and have a reader walk away feeling smarter. Let’s use an example. If you live in a city you may know that a portion of your taxes are spent on road construction, fixing potholes and installing sidewalks, however you (and likely most people) have no idea what t..."

You may use Excel, a database, Google Sheets, programming and statistical tools (R, Python NumPy and SciPy), data flow tools and more. The tools you use can be governed by what you are comfortable with or what you want to learn.

Visibility into the processes that you use provides a few benefits - it speaks to the credibility of our work, it enables future updates of the article w/ new data, and it assists with the editorial review.
