    Evaluation of the User Experience of Interactive Infographics in Online Newspapers
    (RWTH Aachen, 2017-11-30)
    Langer, Julia 
    ;
    Information graphics are a powerful tool to communicate complex information. Adding interactive elements to infographics that are published in online media enables journalists to tell even more complex and exiting stories. However, the usability of such complex data presentations is crucial for their acceptance among readers of online newspapers. The results of a usability study of interactive infographics published in online newspapers reveal weaknesses and success factors for designing interactive infographics to ensure an improved user experience.

    Interactive Infographics in German Online Newspapers
    (RWTH Aachen, 2016-11-24)
    Zwinger, Sandra 
    ;
    Interactive infographics are increasingly used in online journalism. Especially in data-driven journalism they provide a powerful tool to represent and communicate complex information. On the basis of a content analysis of five German-speaking online newspapers we show which kinds of interactive visualizations are preferred in German-speaking online media. However, users are still unfamiliar with interactive infographics. The results of a user survey demonstrate how readers of online newspapers use interactive infographics. These results point out how users interact with interactive infographics and how they assess the availability and findability of interactive infographics in online newspapers.
