This collaboration enabled the creation of "Unik grafik: Hur ska Sverige regeras?", a special feature that leveraged the latest polling data to explore possible government coalitions. By utilizing Datastory's advanced data visualization capabilities, DN.se could present complex voter data and political scenarios in an engaging, interactive format that allowed users to explore different coalition possibilities and understand the political proximity between parties.

Results

The innovative approach taken by DN.se, supported by Datastory's technology, resulted in a highly engaging and informative piece that resonated with readers. By offering interactive graphics and a deep dive into the nuances of coalition-building, DN.se provided its audience with a clearer understanding of the potential outcomes and the political landscape post-election. This not only enhanced reader engagement but also elevated the public discourse around the election, contributing to a more informed and engaged citizenry.
