"Since this book first published in 2006, the field of graphics reporting has changed dramatically. First, information visualization has exploded online and on other digital platforms. Second, information graphics reporting has encompassed nearly every sector of communication and business. Visual reporting skills are not only relevant in traditional news environments, but many other professions as well. This edition seeks to address these changes by providing learners with a cross-platform, cross-industry approach to instruction. It will include a robust, dynamic companion website complete with regularly updated examples of print, online, and broadcast graphics, as well as useful tutorials and exercises. This book covers everything you need to know about reporting with graphics, information visualization and graphic design from a journalistic perspective. Chapters include relevant case studies and conclude with essays from experts." (Publisher description)
