Who says you can't talk about good graphics on the radio?
August 21st, 2006 by JTJ

National Public Radio (USA) had a good piece on the air this Sunday morning about Edward Tufte, the infographics guru.  The radio piece, “Edward Tufte, Offering 'Beautiful Evidence” (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5673332)
does a good job of explaining, for the ear, information graphics, and we applaude the folks there for taking on a topic that most radio producers/editors would avoid because “there ain't no sound.”  Well, yes, but….


Also, the NPR web site included a nice film clip of Tufte during a lecture.  Be sure to check it out.
