Emerging from recession?Britain yesterday officially crawled out from recession, and our glorious media presented the same data in many ways and guises
Which is great
Even in the Daily Telegraph we have to graphics, from the front of the Business section, and the other from inside the main News book, showing differing display methods using the same quarterly GDP data
Squire John Bradley rather smartly compared sector against GDP in the Independent, meanwhile on the front page of the FT, a red line showed GDP historical over a map of Britain
Maybe more information – both visual and textual could have emboldened the
FT's graphic
The Guardian produced an incredibly clean looking and impressive
global recession map online, and presented their beloved and world-altering circle volume/data display – combining complex data in a fantastically simple manner – nothing new at Michael Robinson's graphical data studio
Lastly at the Telegraph, Andrew
Blenkinsop produced a beautiful and dramatic graphic for the front page of the Business section, and Caroline Dewar's 'Timeline of Britain's session' added journalistic value to the News section
All great stuff and cheers!
