I found this beautiful site www.openspending.org, which falls into the category of open data, using graphs that show how our money is spent by the state and regions

Open data and information: the world is being flooded with data, Journalists will be able to make sense?
the movement for Open date, driven by the Obama and the British government, is making available on the internet a huge amount of raw data on a scale never before seen. In Italy the institutions are slow, while some projects created on the initiative from below (See Open House and Open Parliament). This data is available within the public ranging from budgets statistics, procurement contracts by, and thanks to their publication in open formats can be edited and republished. This amount of data requires someone who knows how to interpret and give meaning. The scandal of the repayments to the English parliamentary emerged thanks to data made public on the internet and reprocessed by the Guardian with the help of its readers online is just one of many recent examples. Journalists will be increasingly asked to provide data to the base of their investigations, know how to integrate within the narrative journalism, know how to display with intuitive infographics, and make it reusable by other. What can journalists do to enhance the amount of public data? How can we integrate the tools to reprocess data in journalism? What skills are needed to get into this field?
