I am a fan of the representation of the information in a graphic, visual and attractive way and this news led by the Financial times I loved it. At a time when economic concepts seem to be here to stay, especially among high school students. The risk premium is an example of language that we integrate although it is difficult to understand the meaning it has. However, in a city like New York they have made it easy for public transport passersby.
And is that the Financial Times has developed the Graphic World application in which with powerful infographics, which are also interactive and have a 3D effect. Journalist and designer David McCandless is the father of this idea and his work is projected in Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal in New York. The topics he projects are how mobile technology is transforming the global economy, what the recession is and how it can be overcome and a comparison of the US economy against other major world powers.
Because the economy of the United States of America is still very powerful and being above all demands an effort and dedication that the Financial Times intends to cover based on training, dedication, dissemination and explanation of difficult concepts to the average citizen To make it easier and more affordable. Because it is not known where the talent of the little ones can be or their reaction in the future after having seen that waste of graphics, explanations and interactivities in that famous station.
I take my hat off to the Financial Times who is aware that he has to win readers for his journalists and disseminators in the best possible way. This action related to disseminating economic concepts seems fascinating to me and I hope it will be copied in other countries, including Spain, to that our children learn to understand these concepts and apply them in their future development.
