This week, Steve Duenes, graphics director for The New York Times, is answering readers' questions along the lines of “How did you do that?”  “Why did you do that?” and “What are the NYT's designers proud of?”  

The NYTimes is arguably the best in the mainstream media at delivering infographics in the broadest definition of the term and in both print and on the web.  (Yeah, WIRED does a good job, too, but with longer lead-times.)  Its 30 or so designer-journalists can produce illustrations of the scene of news stories to visualizations of large data sets, i.e. a day's results the the world's major stock markets.
