Resum
Data journalism, infographics and data visualization : a study of El PaÃs, El Mundo, Marca and El Correo
Objective: Analyze the extent and characteristics of implementation of infographics and data visualization in four Spanish newspapers.
Material and methods: Infographics published for two months by the newspapers El Pais, El Mundo, Marca and El Correo were studied.
Results: It was found that while the newspapers studied make extensive use of infographics resources, these are still in a stage of early development. This is verified, among other indications, by the predominance of figurative representations, the complete absence of advanced visualization resources (but well known) as are the treemaps and tag clouds and little use of interactivity in the representations.
