330 .. $a "The use of infographics is on the rise in newspapers, on television, and on the web.
Data visualizations are now ubiquitous in education and corporate life as well. Yet
modern communications scholarship has had little to say about this development: the
infographic has so far existed on the periphery of communications studies. To date,
no serious attempt has been made to explore the historical emergence of the form in
terms of its cultural and mass-communicative impact. This book will step into the
breach with a history of the use of data graphics in news media and mass communication.
This book sets out an original, theoretically rigorous account of the historical evolution
of infographics and data visualization in news media and mass communication. It represents
the first serious attempt to explore the rise of data visualization as a popular,
cultural phenomenon. The author employs an innovative methodology (and method of analysis),
towards contextualizing the rise of these forms in popular culture through six historical
phases; the proto-infographic; the classical; the improving; the commercial; the ideological;
and the professional. Given the potential scope of this topic, the author situates
this book specifically within the UK"
