What is the role of visualizations in data storytelling?

Visualizations play a crucial role in data storytelling. They help to assign significance to volumes of disparate data points by providing a visual representation of the data. This makes it easier for the audience to understand and interpret the data.

They provide a comparative perspective, allowing for real insights to emerge not just from specific data points, but from the overall trends and patterns.
