Celebrity infographics on TV

A cracking editorial decision by John Mullin, editor of the recently redesigned Independent on Sunday to question the Lib-Con coalition government and its "deep, deep splits on the environment"

The front page headline reads:
"Do blue and yellow really make green?"

Sometimes infographics and design transcend the usual "fill the square, headline and tick the box" journalism

Art Directed Colin Wilson and Graphics Editor Cath Levett produced the front page

Not simply asking the question

But showing the answer

Visuals and information

Brave judgement for a front page and editing with impact

Enough impact to make the Andrew Marr show on TV earlier this morning

Editorial caviar!

For the record the IoS has posted the biggest month-on-month sales increase, 8.99pc, and an 18.9pc rise in paid-for circulation in its sector

IoS election coverage

Independent on Sunday election coverage

Again, Cath Levett and the IoS provide the goods

Election clarity

And a true guide the your election!

1 On the night possible swings

2 The seats and battlegrounds to watch produced on a "proportional representation" map

3 The morning after possible scenarios and outcome for the new or hung parliament

And following from my earlier post regarding proportional representation, Levett comments:

The geographical map, is a "visual lie", as many Labour seats are packed into densely populated urban areas, while the Tories hold many larger, rural constituencies

Infographics News: What are you sending to Malofiej18

There are some fantastic infographic examples sent to Chiqui Esteban's blog Infographic News from Cath Levett of the Independent on Sunday

Esteban's 'no contest just sharing' share-a-thon is attracting many examples from various newspapers around the world, of what they would or might send to the University of Navarra's Malofiej Infographic Summit

Ciaran Hughes has posted some examples of his super work to Chiqui's blog

Catching the infographic bug

The Independent on Sunday is at it again

Infographics that are fun by Cath Levett and Richard Burgess

A light news story that lends itself to visual reporting

A huge thanks to Ciaran Hughes for sending this quality work

He says:

Great design, layout, integration of image into graphic. Looks effortless. It has it all!

MPs expenses: Independent on Sunday

Here she goes... here she goes again!

Cath Levett rocks!

Smashing graphic in the Independent on Sunday at the weekend

Aggregating all of the news from the Telegraph from the past nine days (maths right me thinks)

But taking things further, where most print media would never dare go

This is great journalism

Modern

Fresh

Content based

It has a headline, and an intro, visual driven with text narrative. But its not a graphic

Crikey. New journalism!

Swine flu: UK press [4]

Hoovering up of explaining more?

The Sunday press hoovered up from what was left to explain from the last seven days of swine flu

The Sunday Times (a) followed the trend of showing how many cases, by country, using the circular chart method, as noticed in the Daily Telegraph, The Times, the Independent and the Guardian, while not really developing the story further.

In the Sunday Telegraph (b), Stefan Bayley and Ciaran Hughes updated the UK and global figures as shown during the week, but their is a nugget of information in the bottom right corner, as shown above, which looks at the 1918 pandemic, and how the 'case rate' peaked and troughed during the following seasons

The Independent on Sunday (c, d + e) produced a fabulous guide and infographic explainer along the base of the compact spread, of the swine flu crisis. Based upon a timeline, Cath Levett and Richard Burgess explained the past week's news in an incredibly clean and clear fashion. The infographic culminates by date, and by pandemic rating, of the death toll, and confirmed cases, by volume

Is there any more to explain?

Has any print or online platform missed anything?

Surely all has been covered, please tell me if I am wrong
