Tina Macias

Tina Macias is an investigative producer for KHOU 11News in Houston, Texas. She was first introduced to Tableau in 2014 through its partnership with the Investigative Reporters and Editors organization. Almost 10 years later, she appreciates that Tableau continues to value journalists and the importance of making data more accessible and understandable. She loves visualizing newsworthy data, and her vizzes have brought life to banned books data, school counselor shortages, gang crime hotspots and COVID data that she updated daily for two years. Other data visualization software has come along, but she sticks with Tableau – and encourages other data journalists to use it -- for its ability to story tell with multiple data sources, annotate nuances and sources and give audiences multiple views all on one dashboard. Connect with Tina on Tableau PublicLinkedInTwitter or KHOU Investigates.
