March 9-18, 2018 -- South Korea is hosting the 2018 Winter Paralympic Games. Graphic shows the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic emblem. The emblem has its roots in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. The main design motif surrounds the Korean letter symbolising snow, ice and the Paralympic athletes. Below is the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) logo.
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.
