Types of data stories (as presented by Andrew Flowers)

Novelty - A story that presents new data, or data that a reader/viewer hasn't understood before in a specific context.
Outlier - This is the most common and the most effective data story, Flowers said. We're naturally drawn to stories about "best", "worst", etc.
Archetype - Telling story about something that's not necessarily different or new, but interesting.
Trend - What's changed? What's new? Can be effective around a breaking-news event.
Debunking - Attacking an alleged misperception.
Forecast - These are typically done with probability models, simulations and scenarios.
