Bookmark and ShareNew York Times Infographics An overdose of numbers. 

Very few newspapers have a team dedicated to data visualization and information design. Even fewer roll them out as consistently and on a tight schedule as the The New York Times. Being an infovis nut (and much less of a news junkie) I rarely visit NYT’s front page and found my self stumbling upon these graphics long after they were published. I created this page as a resource to satiate my data visualization hunger (and hopefully, yours too).

The NY Times will occasionally require you to log in before seeing the content, use the bugmenot tool to bypass that.

  37. [...] Don’t get me wrong, there are some fascinating ways we can turn ourselves or our interest into a visual and ultimately ‘share-able’ online tidbit. Take for example, the website http://vizualize.me/ – yep, that’s right, you can turn your resume and curriculum vitae, or CV, into a very graphical and somewhat interesting piece of art. There’s plenty of apps and other services online that takes advantage of that small, yet distinct narcissistic side in all of us. But it’s fun, right? And it might actually be useful to make use of all that information that’s around us… The New York Times has been at the frontline of taking information around us and turning it into something beautiful yet useful (checkout this page for a collection of their stuff).

  76. Beautiful collection, thank you. May I suggest
    that you look into Parallel Coordinates for
    the visualization of multidimensional/multivariate data and relations — see

    http://www.amazon.com/Parallel-Coordinates-Multidimensional-Geometry-Applications/dp/0387215077

    This book was praised by Stephen Hawking among others.
