Abstract

News Graphic is a kind of Infographic which reports the news visually. The difference between news graphic and infographic lies in the content and the speed with which they are presented. Although this kind of graphic is frequently used in media around the world, its use is limited in Iran. The present article aims to study the influential factors in the use of news graphics in Iranian media by means of descriptive methods (interviews and analysis). It has found five deterrent factors including high cost of producing news graphics, low familiarity of media managers with news graphics, limited experience and competence of the Iranian graphic designers in this field, technical and communicational limitations, and the problem of producing and supporting Persian graphical software due to lack of professional groups in creating such software.
