"Information or data is the new oil..."
I don't know if you have noticed lately, the absolute proliferation of infographics available about ANY information. (check out these cool infographics)
"If you are navigating a dense information jungle coming across an infographic is a relief - like coming into a jungle clearing"
This is a fascinating video by David McCandless breaking down visually the way media presents information.
Fascinating stats on media reporting of violence video games about 1/4 of the way through.
Make sure you watch until the end as David manipulates the information he is viewing...
David says:
"Let the dataset change your mindset. And if it can do that then let it change your behaviour"
So what do you reckon, infographics? Do you use them? Impact on the way we as consumers of media access this information???
