Although most areas of journalistic work have been very well-investigated, the visual area remained quite neglected. Such an approach is completely wrong because the visual aspect of journalism, the way it is used, designed and edited, significantly contributes to the transmission of information. Given the fact that people are visual animals, giving the deserved attention to the visual aspect of information transmission was a revolutionary act in the history of information as well as journalism. Nowadays, the proper visualization of information is one of the main goals of all the mass media and the enormous attention is paid to the design of information that will attract the interest of their potential consumers. With the development of computer technology, a new branch of design – information design – has been introduced. It allows us to present simple and complex information alike in a more attractive, interesting and easily-understood way. It's a great way to get close to consumers and make them the focal point of every information process. Journalism is trying to keep up with the development of new technologies and fully adapt to new trends – which nowadays mostly includes the use of smart phones and the Internet as a medium, but one day it might be something entirely different and the producers of information will have to adapt to that change. The future of journalism is undoubtedly in the new media.
