Infographics

By Scott Krones

A well-made and relevant information graphic can really add another dimension to your story and make your piece a complete package. However, there's a tricky line where one could easily overdo it, overriding the importance of the journalism with an overdone infographic that draws people away from the actual relevance of the story. A simple and effective graphic is a very good idea for journalists who want that visual connection with readers who may not want to read the entire story, but can connect better with other mediums. As long as the graphic supports the story and fits everything well, an information graphic can really spice up your story and make you look very professional.
