Support visual journalism

Credits allow Members to download an agreed number of graphics, one graphic per credit, without having to go through checkout.

Yes, you can buy more credits using the link in your online Account dashboard. Credits are supplied in bundles rather than individually because of banking charges on online purchases.

Yes, the credits included with your Membership are non-refundable and can only be used during the membership period. Those that are bought separately last for up to 12 months, but they can only be used if you have an active membership during this period.

Contact us for a bespoke arrangement, or use one of the options available to publishers and corporations.

Some types of graphics (such as interactives, videos or animations) obviously cannot be made available as a static JPG. Others may be missing, corrupted, or - for legacy graphics in the archive - were never made available as a JPG. If you contact us we will try to reissue the graphic in the format you want.

Personal Members have a Personal Educational License as defined by the User Terms. This allows content to be used for your personal interest and education or for classroom hand-outs if you are a teacher. It also allows use on personal non-commercial blogs or websites. A website is considered to be non-commercial if it has less than 1000 unique visitors a month or for which less than Euro 200 advertising revenue accrues each month. The license does NOT allow an artist to use Graphic News copyright work as visual reference to create their own images for commercial use. For this a professional license is needed.

Applications are reviewed individually, but the answer is generally "no". This is because our rates are designed primarily to cover our costs. We do not ourselves make a profit and all the revenue we receive is reinvested in the service. I would also note that many so called not-for profit educational organizations pay their staff very "realistic" wages, and some even charge their students more than "realistic" fees. Others give infographics away as a "value added" service or to promote their courses.

Prices vary according to the type and size of the item. A multi-buy discount is then added: 20% for 2 items, 40% for 3 or more. Undiscounted prices vary between around £75 and £150. If you need a special prices, whether for a project or package this can be arranged if you contact us.

Initially, the currency will be determined by your location, but you can then change to GB£, US$ and Euro via the currency selector on the top bar. (select and refresh your page)

Previews are visible to anybody - even if they havn't logged in. You can therefore search the archive by keyword or via the menu and see what is available and select items to your basket. Access is restricted to pages showing a single graphic with a large visual (plus the story and links to sources). To see these you need a fixed price monthly deal or an alternative such as a 30-day FREE PASS.

The monthly price includes one credit and up to 5 LoginIDs. Credits are used to download without going through checkout, 1 credit = 1 item. So everything is the same price regardless of size and whether static or an interactive or animation. The monthly price is can vary but is generally around £50. The only exclusions are those with datafeeds that last for a whole tournament or event, or interactives in old formats (for which special permission is needed).

The minimum period is a month. You can cancel at any time via your online account. If you cancel the deal continues until the renewal date.

Yes. You can see pages that show single graphics with the stories and any links to the data source.

Credits enable you to download without going through checkout each time. This is very convenient if you are using the service on a daily basis. PAY-ON-DOWNLOAD customers are given credits in advance and then invoiced for the number of credits that have been used. The others expire at the end of the invoiced period. FIXED PRICE online users have an automatic minimum order of one credit per month but can buy more credits if needed.

The credits associated with FIXED PRICE users last 12 months but can only be accessed if the FIXED PRICE deal is active.

No, you can buy additional credits via a link in your online account.

If a graphic is downloaded under a FIXED PRICE deal or SELECT & PAY it can be re-downloaded at no cost.

If a graphic is downloaded under a FIXED PRICE deal, this includes any and all of the file formats available and any and all of the languages available.

As this deal is intended for professional users, we automatically allow 5 LoginIDs for each "group", but this can be increased if you contact us. One User (LoginID) is identified as the Main User.
