Kiko Llaneras is one of the most consistently interesting data journalists to have emerged in the last decade. His unique combination of statistical rigour and a flair for explanation has brought new and fascinating perspectives to everything from politics and sports to the COVID pandemic, and every time I read his work I leave with a deeper appreciation of the subject. * John Burn-Murdoch, Chief data reporter, Financial Times * Common sense to unravel the data jungle. * El País * Kiko Llaneras has established himself as the Spanish leading voice in data journalism thanks to his keen eye for how to extract meaning from data, and for how to present it to the public. Piensa Claro is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to sharpen their critical thinking skills in an increasingly data-driven world. * Alberto Cairo, Knight Chair in Visual Journalism at University of Miami * If you want to get better at interpreting and explaining data (or know someone who does), I’d recommend Think Clearly by Kiko Llaneras - it’s full of great data journalism insights and examples. * Adam Kucharski, author of The Rules of Contagion and The Perfect Bet *
