How to show the International Trade … Not!
Innovative, maybe - but it's inaccurate - and you have no idea, when you see this tangled web
Malofiej-time / Please consider to join in with a comment
VisualJournalism.com is spending the entire week to cover the events at the most important conference for infographics in the world. We're talking Malofiej here - Welcome to Pamplona ...You really should consider to click the 'Connect with facebook'-button. It may sound a bit dangerous - like a lot of information will be interchanged, but really - the only thing this connection means, is that your facebook picture and your name will be shown, when you decide to make a comment. You're not giving away any contact-information, and you have not turned this site into your friend or anything. So please consider joining the growing club of people able to comment on this site and let's have some discussion. - Gert K Nielsen, Admin
VisualJournalism - covering Malofiej 2010 this week
VisualJournalism.info .net .org .be .dk .eu .com
There is a lot to choose from when somebody tells you to go to the website VisualJournalism. It all depends on the ending - in fact you have seven choices …
visualjournalism.org
visualjournalism.dk
visualjournalism.net
visualjournalism.eu
The .dk site is inactive, however, - and the .net-domain is in it’s redemptionperiod, so now will be a good time to line up and place an order on it, if you want to become part of the VJ-family.
The newest site is the .info site which launched just 14 days ago after living a its former life as an university blog. Welcome … It looks like some interesting content. (But how can you live with that text-only frontpage, when you call yourself visualjournalism?)
The .org site is not the most active - it belongs to a university and carries student-projects for the University of Miami.
Lastly we have the .eu and the .be -site which turns out to be the same - a portfolio for the photographer Tom Palmaers.
What is a visual journalist?
What I find very interesting in visiting the family-members of Visual Journalism is that they centers heavily on photography and multimediaproduction. And as there are a lot more photographers than infographic artists it might end up being a photographic term. If you tell someone that you’re a visual journalist people will assume that you’re out there taking pictures or shooting video?
Bonus - if you itch uncontrollably to start a VJ-domain you could also go for visualjournalist.com - it’s for sale for a piffling $695. What a bargain (not).
