When including a graphic in a presentation, especially one that is meant to convey reliable statistical information, it is critical to provide proper attribution to establish credibility and allow others to verify the data. Therefore, the piece of information that must be included with the graphic is its publisher and date of publication.
Here’s why:
1. Publisher: Identifying the source of the data (the publisher) gives credit to the organization or entity that compiled the information. It also allows the audience to evaluate the reliability of the source.
2. Date of Publication: This provides context regarding the timeliness of the data. Given that statistics can change over time, knowing when the data was published helps the audience understand how current the information is.
Including this information ensures that Khaled's graphic is not only informative but also meets academic and professional standards for citation, which enhances the overall credibility of his presentation.
