Megan Jaegerman's brilliant news graphics. They explain things so clearly you can understand them immediately. Now I know what those figure skaters are doing, and the cost of pets, psychotherapy, and 4th of July picnics.

Megan Jaegerman produced some of the best news graphics ever while working at The New York Times from 1990 to 1998. Her work is smart, finely detailed, elegant, witty, inventive, informative. A fierce researcher and reporter, she writes gracefully and precisely. Megan has the soul of a news reporter, who happens to use graphs, tables, and illustrations--as well as words--to explain the news. Her best work is the best work in news graphics.

Remarkable graphics. She really did do a great job with them. I can remember seeing a lot of them in print as that was just as the internet really started to take off and I read the Sunday Times on a regular baisis. Cool stuff about the handguns too...

That's good to know. All the criminals that read the times will change the way they walk so you can't tell they're packing. I will continue to walk normally, so they know I'm packing.
