This chapter covers how to read about data with a focus on narrative as an important first step to writing for other publics. Examples include press releases and blog posts as outlets for researchers to write for broader audiences. This chapter also provides tips for identifying elements (e.g., the five Ws) and mapping the organization (e.g., the inverted pyramid) of press releases and identifying the motivation of, and argument strategies used in, blog posts.

This chapter discusses how to map out results in a storyboard before starting to write about findings. In particular, the chapter discusses the process of choosing what material is most relevant to our argument, determining the order in which to present our findings, and finding the narrative that will be compelling to a reader. An example of the storyboard process is provided using hospital data on drug-related, emergency-department visits.
