Hi all - I would love to find some forums and sites where you get the kind of help and advice you get from EConsultancy for digital marketeers, but for editorial, content and production/ subbing advice instead.
Examples - are there good websites to create infographics? What is the best way to present data? Are there data sites where you can create good data and graphics on the fly? We use Chart Gizmo but it's quite limited...
I'm sure there are other non-data related topics we'd like to discuss too but data springs to mind!
Kaiser Fung's Junk Charts blog provides excellent critique on infographics used in a range of media sources. I've not read his book, but the blog doesn't really tell you how to make infographics. However, I'm sure it would provide inspiration and often some guidance on how not to do it and it is very interesting. Check out http://junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts/
If you're interested in the area between news media and web analytics, Denis Mortensen's Visual Revenue blog is also brilliant. http://visualrevenue.com/blog
