Junk Charts
A critical eye on bad charts and how to fix them.
About
Junk Charts, written by statistician Kaiser Fung, dissects charts that appear in the wild, from news graphics to corporate dashboards, and explains specifically why they mislead or confuse readers.
It's a narrower newsletter than most analytics content, but the recurring format, take a real chart, diagnose what's wrong, propose a fix, builds genuinely transferable instincts for anyone who has to present data for a living.
