Kiko Llaneras, El País, on customizing Datawrapper charts with R

Описание: Kiko codes in R and creates most of his charts with Datawrapper. In his talk, he shows how he and his team combine both and share two use cases at El País: (1) creating quick, clean, and responsive Datawrapper charts directly from our R code; and (2) using the Datawrapper API to produce custom (special!) Datawrapper charts such as histograms, beeswarm plots, or bizarre column charts.

Kiko is a Spanish data journalist with a Ph.D. in Engineering who writes for El País, a daily newspaper in Spain. Back in the day, he started as a blogger. Now, he tries to blend an analytical stance with journalistic storytelling.
