There is also a graphic news service that presents current events in graphic form. I enjoy them when I see them in the newspapers, but unfortunately you can only buy them.

I may be going against the opinion here, but none of those are good graphics. Way too busy presentation and surprisingly little information is integrated into them. This is the USA Today style of infographics.

I don't like those MarkG posted much either. But I prefer graphic news for the wealth of info they can show. I remember a recent one which showed Iranian missile capability: you could see sizes of different missiles as well as ranges and costs, all neatly arranged on a Middle East map. You'd need a big and boring article to fit all that info.

Here are couple of examples Google Image Search turned up (they are not related):

Granted, it's not all "news" but infographics as thread title says. It's a good way to present information. More from Google:

Big yawn.

The arms industry and tobacco industry are both legal and legit businesses. I see no reason to apologize.

Good thing no one is asking them too, then. Continue with your boredom.
