A successful infographic can make sometimes tedious information inviting and easier to understand. It can almost become a guilty pleasure. Do I really need to know how traffic signal systems really work?!

When the information is cited, clearly representing what the author is trying illustrate, the color scheme is effective, and is accompanied by a narrative that also lines up with the info graphic and the headline. Examples of how not to do this, any Military Times publication.

SGT (Join to see) - there is so little information on the "interactive" map that could be solved with a two line legend, a static map, and some color codes. Maybe a few call outs instead. So no surprise, the whole US map is not relevant to the story. A whole US map gives the illusion that the call ups are more wide spread. A zoom in east of the Mississippi would be helpful. Their narrative is ineffective and non-existent (also a Military Times staple).

SGT (Join to see) - the nugget of truth is that the Times frequently deals in rumor, uses yellow journalism headlines, and frequently publishes on nothing more than a MILPER MESSAGE, that any Joe can look at, read and walk away with a much better understanding than the drivel that comes via the Times. Their graphics are frequently suspect, unless they are directly lifted from a press brief or release. Even then they throw their spin on it.

Hard to say SGT (Join to see) but I have heard the term before. I would think any information that you want to highlight that can be shown with graphics.
