Malofiej-week is here

What is the best way to facilitate a discussion on a website like VisualJournalism? To be honest, I haven't figured it out yet. Lots of possibilities and they all promise to be really simple and work like a charm. I have now decided to go with the disqus-system instead of the facebook-connect.

A New Era in Infographics – don’t miss

newera

If you haven’t already seen this incredibly well-produced and interesting video about the new infographics era, then it’s time for you to do so.

This YouTube-clip is part #4 of a larger complex of videos about Journalism in the Age of Data.

The man behind the production is Geoff McGhee who has been working with online graphics for New York Times and Le Monde before spending a fellowship at Stanford University researching and producing this report.

If you look closely you’ll even see this very site being featured, when the discussion is about the sexy box-office-streamgraph produced by New York Times.

You can see the rest of the report here at the Stanford website. The site holds 54 minutes of content, but you’ll probably want more when it’s over. If so – well – you can always join in at the next Malofiej Conference in March 2011.
