New York Times infographics


By far, the New York Times produces some of the most useful information graphics online, or in print. This interactive graph demonstrates the ebb and flow of movie releases over the past few years. You instantly notice when movies peak, where the blockbusters fall in the year, and how long most movies stay in the multiplex. 

Another graph, shown above, charts the fall of a few civilizations and the causes that preceded their demise. An interesting correlation can be inferred with the US.

These graphs visualize how households spend their income. Accompanying graphs can be found here

Finally, there is this chart. It puts into perspective the riches men in US history, that all but 2 lived in the 1800s, and they are all white men.

I agree. I am a big fan of the New York Times. Their newspaper as Website have useful and informative graphics that are well designed. They really take their time to produce good work.
