January 19-November 19, 2017 -- The World Rally Championship gets underway, with more powerful, bigger and more aggressive new-era cars making their debut. Volkswagen’s withdrawal was a major surprise, but Toyota and Citroën have returned to join Hyundai and M-Sport, meaning four of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers will be taking part.
28 years ago — April 2, 1991 — the original Graphic News launched using a precursor to today’s websites that used email technology. These enabled infographics to be delivered electronically around the world over telephone lines. What was possible was very limited - It took 10 minutes for a 100K file to download.
Since then delivery speeds and website technology have moved on. The new website will offer the best online experience possible now, adding many new features (and offering new opportunities for the future), but still enabling existing users to select and download infographics and enjoy the distinct brand of visual journalism that is Graphic News.
