Worth a Thousand Words: Inside the 'NYT' Graphics Department

Words are not enough—but in some ways, they're more important than ever. That's my main takeaway from this Gestalten TV profile of the graphics department at The New York Times. Filmed in 2010, the clip has garnered renewed attention through a Vimeo posting, and it's worth revisiting for insights on storytelling in an age where screens are everywhere and visually rich platforms like Pinterest have captured the public's fancy. Naturally, adding clarity to text is a primary focus for NYT graphics chief Steve Duenes and editor Archie Tse.
