Transparency: Do Health-care Companies Have to Compete for Customers?
- Posted by: GOOD , Atley Kasky
- on September 29, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Opponents of the public option claim that by being forced to compete against the government, health care companies will be at an unfair advantage. But right now, health care companies hardly have to compete at all. In most states, one health care provider controls the vast share of the market, which allows them to raise premiums far faster than the wages of their customers rise. The market might be the best solution for health care,…

Measuring Obama’s First 100 Days
- Posted by: GOOD , Atley Kasky
- on April 29, 2009 at 9:00 am
A few months ago, we published one of our GOOD Sheets on the first 100 days of all the presidents since FDR, examining the major actions taken during the early days of each presidency. Today is President Obama’s 100th day in office and here is an updated version of that graphic. These are obviously just some of the many things that the President has done since his inauguration, but it’s a good look at his and…

Transparency: What Email Is the Most Popular?
- Posted by: GOOD , Atley Kasky
- on March 24, 2009 at 7:58 am
The chirping sounds of a modem and the pleasant greeting of “You’ve got mail,” are technological touchstones for people raised in the exciting days of home dial-up internet. But over the years, AOL’s near-monopoly on personal email accounts has been broken. Or has it? In our latest Transparency, we look at which email services are attracting the most users.

I had the [mis]fortune of heading over there one day recently when they were closed. From the outside looking in, this studio looked super, super sweet. Next time I’m back up there I’m gonna have to check it out during operational hours. I’ve heard of some incredible stuff being produced there.

Transparency: The Largest Bankruptcies in History
- and said:
Tufte’s views, as understandably mentioned, are, however, entirely archaic and irrelevant here. Our visual vocabulary is expanding rapidly and our ability to absorb compound information through creative means is growing with it.
Without too specifically defending this image alone, but rather the information graphic as a concept, I think trying to limit ourselves to Tuftean principles everytime we want to graphically express data would be a ghastly oversight to the most important part of visual communication, the narrative.
Not only can an image convey data but it can tell a story.
If all you’re looking for, however, is the data, I highly recommend The Economist or our very own Staturday.
