    In a year packed with news, NPR Visuals used data, photography, video, illustration and more to tell stories that tie us all together. We looked for opportunities to push beyond the expected and find ways to connect with more people.

    Our team collaborated on national and international stories about politics, health, education, immigration, music and more. These stories all show humanity and reflect what life is like in different parts of the world. We collected of our favorite visual stories from 2017, which includes breaking news events to lengthy investigations to stories that made us smile.

    In 2017, politics dominated the news cycle along with the solar eclipse and hurricane coverage in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. There was still room for important stories on public school vouchers, a photographer documenting her parents' lives with cancer, internally displaced people in the country of Georgia, among others.

    We paired these stories by showing what it's like to become an American citizen, hearing what pigeon racing sounds like in Indonesia, illustrators shared their perspectives from music festivals across the globe and experiencing a raccoon cafe. Here is a look back at the stories that resonated with us in 2017.
