Reply to comment by Sines314 in [OC] How to spot misleading charts? I would like to hear your opinion on the subject, also any tips design-wise? by dark_o3

I wonder if there is room for some journalism exam that requires passage. How to properly display data, etc. It wouldn't have to be exceptionally complicated but I think there are zero entrance requirements to being a journalist. At least you could say 'certified' or some such. Maybe there is qualification exam out there I don't know of.

I think we need less official credentials, really. No reason why hair dressers need a license. But newspapers shouldn’t hire journalist, people who deal in fact finding, if they are easily deceived.
