As the world grows more com­plex, some of the best sto­ries are told through visu­als — info­gra­phics. From elec­tion results to cata­stro­phes to wars to sci­en­ti­fic dis­co­ve­ries: the stream of data we are expo­sed to dai­ly beco­mes ever more com­pli­ca­ted. Info­gra­phics help make sen­se of it, trans­forming dif­fi­cult to grasp facts and figu­res into acces­si­ble visualizations.

Print media are incre­a­singly making suc­cess­ful use of them. Visu­al Jour­na­lism reve­als the mas­ters of this disci­pli­ne and their finest works. The por­traits of stu­di­os and indi­vi­du­als wit­hin this com­pen­di­um illus­tra­te how the world of info­gra­phics con­ti­nues to evol­ve as it informs data and gra­phic trends. A visu­al revo­lu­ti­on show­ca­ses the myri­ad pos­si­bi­li­ties of non-ver­bal communication.
