  • The Economist has a piece on interactive graphics “It is becoming clear that the native form for data is alive, not dead. Online, interactive charts will become the norm, nudging aside paper-based, static ones.”
  • Ampp3d is the data blog of (UK left-wing tabloid) The Mirror. I’m not sure how to phrase this without sounding more pretentious than I actually am, but it’s good to find data journalism in idioms other than California/Manhattan nerdy and New York Times/BBC/Guardian upper-middle-class liberal.
  • Datavisualization.ch claims to be “the premier news and knowledge resource for data visualization and infographics.” Despite that, it is really worth reading.
