Question

Project 1. Statistical graphics in the press. Graphs good and bad fill the news media. Some publications, such as USA Today, make particularly heavy use of graphs to present data. Collect several graphs (at least five) from newspapers and magazines (not from advertisements). Include some graphs that, in your opinion, represent good style and some that represent poor style or are misleading. Use your collection as examples in a brief essay about the clarity, accuracy, and attractiveness of graphs in the press.
