The 2006 Expo Publishing Expo and Conference at Moscow reunited some of the greatests professionals of the news design. About infographics, as the blog Innovations in Newspapers tells, things are changing. Javier Zarracina, infographics director from Vocento, talked about the need of having journalists as infographics artists, and not just artists, and added that are the newspapers themselves who want this differenciation. Javier Errea, design consultor and president of the spanish chapter of the SND, tld that we need new ways to show the news.

Much more than bars
Bars graphics are boring, with few exceptions. This is one one of the bests exceptions I've seen. Not just because it doesn't need to use false representations of statistical data to get the bars adapted to the drawing. Not just because the result is atractive. It's because, adding the told before, you just need a sight to notice and which is the information, all thanks the good use of the colours and the (decorative) elements.
Congrats, Phil Geib (Chicago Tribune)
