Los infográficos periodísticos como género informativo

Abstract

From their eclosion during the 1990s until now, statistical graphics, maps, diagrams and many other newspaper infographics have became a new informative genre in the media all around the world. This paper-which is strictly oriented to social media infographics-analyzes those minimal units in which graphics can be divided and explores a possible classification for methdological purposes. Differences between static infographics-those designed to read be in printed media-and interactive ones are considered too.
