This chapter focuses on the communication dimensions related to data visualization for both decision-making and outreach purposes. It emphasises why visualization matters, what matters when working with data visualization and how to make data visualization matter even more. It combines well-established good practices in the domain of data visualization with lessons learned from concrete insights stemming from the author’s practice in the field.
