July 1-23, 2017 -- The 2017 Tour de France will take in all five of the country’s mountain ranges for the first time in 25 years – climbs in the Vosges, Jura, Pyrenees, Massif Central and Alps will form part of the three-week, 3,516km race that starts in the German city of Dusseldorf on 1 July and finishes in Paris.
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.
