Today marks a year since Nightingale, the journal of the Data Visualization Society (DVS), was first launched!

What started out as a search for a home for data viz writings evolved into a space for DVS members to speak out and be heard

In more ways than one, Nightingale has helped build up the community

Quote from Ekta Khanchandani, Sports/data journalist

Quote from Jane Zhang, Data viz designer

Quotes from Isaac Levy-Rubinett, Managing Editor, Nightingale and Mary Aviles Insights Consultant, EarlyWorks

Quotes from Jason Forrest, Editor-in-Chief, Nightingale and Paul David Kahn Lecturer, Northeastern University

But all this is only the beginning! Nightingale may be a young publication, but it’s reaching people

We can cast the spotlight on uncomfortable but big issues shaping data viz like data ethics and data literacy.

Amplify the voices of underrepresented members by encouraging and welcoming first-time authors

Challenge rigid notions of what constitute best practices and how to adhere to them

It’ll be exciting to see what next year brings
