A lovely app by @atlatszo.hu developed by Krisztián Szabó (half ot Átló too). You can browse and filter by topic, date, author all the 14.000+ articles of the past 15 years on the website. I'm glad I was able to be a part of this media history. Check the website here data.atlo.team/atlatszo-hal...

An absolute rare infographic gem has arrived today! Les trusts contre la France, from 1937. The graphics were made by Hungarian communist journalist, later geographer György Markos. I wrote an article about him in Nightingale a couple of years ago nightingaledvs.com/gyorgy-marko...
Let's meet in Hilversum in October at Information Design Conference! Thank you for the invitation.
The first phase of digitizing my collection has come to an end. I am very grateful to my students, they did a wonderful job! The result: three massive Hungarian statistical atlases that are unavailable anywhere else, and dozens of data graphics that have never been digitized before. To be continued!
After many years of teaching at the ELTE university, my experience is that this is what a typical midterm exam sheet looks like.
I don't know what happened, but my students' #dataviz projects haven't been this good in years. 🤘
