Understanding the importance of relevant data in data storytelling, learners gain the ability to effectively identify the relevance of their data and make informed decisions. They learn to assess their data sources critically, considering factors such as credibility, accuracy, and timeliness. By aligning their data with the narrative they aim to convey, learners ensure that their storytelling is well-supported and impactful. However, if they find that their data is not relevant for the data story, learners are equipped with strategies to address this challenge. They explore alternative data sources, conduct further research, or adapt their storytelling approach to better align with the available data. Through this process, learners develop the skills to create compelling data stories that are backed by credible and pertinent information, enabling them to effectively engage and inform their audience.
